Have Another Pretty Particle. Yayyyyyyyy

A Collection of Custom Particles for BlanketCon 2025!

Get ready for awesome visual particles! This modification offers several types of particles that you can customize and use in Minecraft.

Welcome to a Colorful World!

Among the current options you'll find:

• Colorable jellyfish
• Colorful snails
• Simple clouds that disappear upon hitting blocks
• Colored bubbles
• Sparkling particle in development (WIP)

Note: Extreme levels of excitement may be contagious (temporarily)

How to Work with Particles

Basic instructions for using particle commands in vanilla gameplay.

Custom Parameters

To customize particles, add parameters {<parameter name>:<value>} after the particle ID.

Example with max_age parameter set to 50:

/particle happy:jellyfish{max_age:50} ~ ~1 ~

For multiple parameters, separate them with commas:

/particle happy:jellyfish{max_age:50, scale:5.0f} ~ ~1 ~

Floating-point numbers can be specified with a decimal point (e.g., 1.0 or 1.56) or by adding "f" (e.g., 1f, 1.56f).

Vector3f Parameters

Vector3f parameters are added in the format [<float>, <float>, <float>]

Example with velocity_after_hit parameter and value [0.2, 0.3, 0.6]:

/particle happy:cloud{velocity_after_hit:[0.2, 0.3, 0.6]} ~ ~1 ~

For color parameters using Vector3f, values are expected to be between 0f and 1f.

Particle Documentation

Unless specified otherwise, all parameters are optional and use default values.

Important: These rules apply only to HAPPY particles. Minecraft particles typically require all parameters to be specified.

Jellyfish

happy:jellyfish

• scale (float): Determines the size of the particle
• max_age (int): Maximum lifespan in ticks
• bounces (int): Number of bounces the jellyfish performs during its lifetime, affecting animation speed and distance traveled
• color_mode (int): Color handling mode:
  • 0: Default - smooth transition between two colors
  • 1: Random color - if colors not specified, a random color from pastel palette is chosen
  • 2: Random transition colors - if colors not specified, two random colors are chosen for transition
• start_color (Vector3f): Starting RGB color for two-color transition
• end_color (Vector3f): Ending RGB color for two-color transition

Cloud

happy:cloud

• scale (float): Determines the size of the particle
• max_age (int): Base lifespan in ticks
• max_age_random (int): Random addition to lifespan from 0 to specified number
• hits_until_fade (int): Number of block collisions before fading begins (10-tick delay)
• fade_amount (float): Fade speed (values between 0 and 1)
• velocity_after_hit (Vector3f): Additional velocity after each block collision

Bubble

happy:bubble

• scale (float): Sets the size of the particle (if not specified, random size is chosen)
• max_age (int): Lifespan in ticks
• max_age_random (int): Random additional lifespan

Snail

happy:snail

• scale (float): Determines the size of the particle
• max_age (int): Lifespan in ticks
• gravity_strength (float): Gravity strength
• speed (float): Movement speed on ground (0 means immobility upon landing)
• min_color (Vector3f): Minimum RGB color in random range
• max_color (Vector3f): Maximum RGB color in random range
