Particles

Particles are a graphical effect in Minecraft. Particles always seem to face the player and will usually disappear after a short period of time. They only appear from another entity such as fire. Particles collide with solid blocks and are slowed by cobwebs, but are unaffected by other entities. Each particle texture is 8x8 pixels.

You can reduce the amount of particles visible in the Options menu. These options range from "All" to "Minimal". "All" renders all particles, "Decreased" renders half the amount of particles, and "Minimal" only renders block breaking particles.

Use the particle command to summon particles.

The types of particles and their coding names in the game's code are displayed below.

Particle names in italic will always be shown, even if the "Minimal" particle setting is used.

 * The rain particles affect the rain sound.
 * Mobs spawned using a Monster Spawner emit smoke particles when spawning.
 * Status effect particles will appear where your face is pointing.
