Usage

For more advanced usage explanations check out the Wiki.

Simple

To spawn particles, you can either use the ParticleEffet#display method, or you can use the ParticleBuilder.
For normal particles without any extra data, the display method is the best choice.

Example:

ParticleEffect.FLAME.display(location);

This code will spawn a flame particle at the specified location.

Some particles can have extra data. This data can contain a range of different properties.
For these special cases, I will only use the ParticleBuilder. Display methods with the specific parameters still exist, but shouldn't be used to avoid confusion.


Directional

Some particles accept a custom velocity. When given a Vector they will travel to the specified offset. The velocity is stored in the offsetX, offsetY and offsetZ properties of the particle.

To see if a particle is Directional check if it has the DIRECTIONAL PropertyType.

Note: The particles Enchantment_Table and Nautilus will be displayed at the offset location and fly to the original location.

Example:

new ParticleBuilder(ParticleEffect.FLAME, player.getLocation())
        .setOffsetY(1f)
        .setSpeed(0.1f)
        .display();

This code will spawn a flame particle that flies to the player's head.

Minecraft's particles can behave quite weirdly, so you may have to tweak the speed parameter when using directional particles.


Colored

A few particles like Redstone can have custom colors applied to them. This color can be set with ParticleColor implementations:

  • RegularColor
  • NoteColor

If your plugin runs on a pre 1.13 server, you can also set the RGB values in the offset properties.

To see if a particle is colorable check if it has the COLORABLE PropertyType.

Note:

  • Since 1.13 Redstone particles are storing their color values in another property. Therefore, the offset properties can be properly used on servers above 1.13.
  • Note particles don't accept a custom color. Instead, they support a note value from 0 to 24. Use NoteColor for this particle.

Regular Example:

new ParticleBuilder(ParticleEffect.REDSTONE, location)
        .setParticleData(new RegularColor(255,255,0))
        .display()

This code will spawn a yellow Redstone particle at the specified location.

setParticleData(new RegularColor(255, 255, 0)) can also be replaced with setColor(Color.YELLOW) in case you want to use java.awt.Color instead.

Note Example:

new ParticleBuilder(ParticleEffect.NOTE, location)
        .setParticleData(new NoteColor(1))
        .display()

This code will spawn a green Note particle at the specified location.


Textured

Several particles even accept textures as custom properties! These textures are modified with implementations of the ParticleTexture class:

  • BlockTexture
  • ItemTexture

Warning: These particles NEED the texture property, or the particle won't be displayed.

To see if a particle supports custom textures check if it has the REQUIRES_BLOCK or the REQUIRES_ITEM PropertyType.

Block texture example:

new ParticleBuilder(ParticleEffect.FALLING_DUST, location)
        .setParticleData(new BlockTexture(Material.STONE))
        .display()

This code will spawn a Falling Dust particle with a stone texture.

Item texture example:

ItemStack item = new ItemStack(Material.DIAMOND_AXE);
new ParticleBuilder(ParticleEffect.ITEM_CRACK, location)
        .setParticleData(new ItemTexture(item))
        .display();

This code will spawn an Item Crack particle with a diamond axe texture.
