Particles



Particles are special graphical effects in Minecraft that are created when certain events occur, such as explosions, rainfall, or smelting items in a furnace.

Behavior
Particles are rendered as front-facing 2D sprites, meaning they always face the player. They disappear after a short animation, in which they may change sizes and rotate, and cycle between a number of animation sprites. They collide with solid blocks and are slowed by cobwebs, but are unaffected by other entities.

The command can be used to create particles.

If a player uses the "minimal" particles option in the video settings, some particles may not appear.

Types of particles
The types of particles and their ID names are displayed below. Particles are namespaced with the prefix.

Particle names marked with an asterisk (*) are shown when using the "minimal" particles setting. Bedrock edition particles currently do not show color if a specific particle has multiple colors. (Example is the note particle.) These particles will be marked with "!"

Particle IDs
Not all of these work on bedrock

Trivia

 * In Java Edition, most particle textures can be changed using resource packs, however the color of smoke particles used in redstone, portals, and endermen cannot be changed without mods.
 * The  particle has unique syntax used for color, represented with three RGB values as decimal percentages.
 * Status effect particles appear where the player face is pointing.
 * The  particle always follow the player regardless of what its location has been set to.
 * Redstone repeaters emit particles, but redstone comparators do not.
 * In Bedrock Edition, burning entities emit rounded particles with a fire animation.
 * There is a particle that is internally used to implement the item pickup animation, but it cannot be summoned with the command. Before the name was removed in 1.13, it was called.
