Have Another Pretty Particle. Yayyyyyyyy!!!

A collection of custom-made particles for use at BlanketCon 2025!

Yippee particles!* Current particles include a colorable jellyfish, colorable snails, simple clouds which disappear upon hitting a block, colored bubbles, and a WIP sparkle particle!

*Yippee creature not included (for now).

Particle How-To's

Various how-to's for vanilla particle commands.

Custom Parameters

Add a {<param name>:<param value>} after the particle id.
Example with param. name of max_age with an integer of 50.

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

For multiple parameters, add a comma between each parameter.
Example with an extra param. name of scale with a float value of 5.0f

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

Floats can be specified with a decimal point added(e.g. 1.0 or 1.56), or an "f' added (e.g. 1f, 1.56f).

Vector3f Paremeter

Vector3f parameters can be added with the value of [<float>, <float>, <float>]
Example with param. name of velocity_after_hit with a value of [0.2, 0.3, 0.6].

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

For colors using Vector3f's, it is expected that the values are between 0f and 1f.

Particle Docs:

Unless specified otherwise, all parameters can be assumed to be optional, using a default value if not added.
Note: This only applies to HAPPY's particles. Minecraft's particles almost always require their parameters to be given.

Jellyfish

happy:jellyfish

• scale (float): Determines the size of the particle.
• max_age (int): Determines the max amount of ticks the particle will last.
• bounces (int): Determines the amount of bounces the jellyfish will preform throughout its max age. This affects the animation speed, and distance traveled.
• color_mode (int): ID of how to handle the start/end colors.
  • 0: Default - Transitions between 2 colors, as given from the start/end colors.
  • 1: Random color - If start/end colors are left as default, a random color from a preset list(mostly pastel colors) is chosen. If not default, the start/end colors are used as a range of where to pick the random color(e.g. white through black will choose any random color).
  • 2: Random transition colors - If start/end colors are left as default, 2 random colors from a preset list(mostly pastel colors) will be chosen as the transition colors. If not default, the start/end colors are used as a range of where to pick the random colors.
• start_color (Vector3f): The start RGB color of a 2 color transition (Note: usage changes based on color mode - see above).
• end_color (Vector3f): The end RGB color of a 2 color transition (Note: usage changes based on color mode - see above).

Cloud

happy:cloud

• scale (float): Determines the size of the particle.
• max_age (int): Determines the max amount of ticks the particle will last.
• max_age_random (int): The max number of extra ticks the particle may last. A random number from 0 to this number will be picked and added to the max age.
• hits_until_fade (int): The max number of times the particle can make contact with a block until it begins to fade out. There is a 10 tick delay between hits, meaning that if it is in a corner, it will count as hitting many blocks.
• fade_amount (float): The amount of alpha/opacity to remove each tick while fading out. Alpha is between 0 and 1, meaning that uses "0" will result in no fade out, and "1" will result in instant fadeout.
• velocity_after_hit (Vector3f): The amount of velocity to add after the particles comes in contact with a block. Note: This velocity is added after EVERY block hit, not just once!

Bubble

happy:bubble

• scale (float): If added, sets the size of the particle. Otherwise, a random triangular with mode 0, deviation 1 is chosen.
• max_age (int): Determines the max amount of ticks the particle will last.
• max_age_random (int): The max number of extra ticks the particle may last, chosen randomly from 0 to that number.

Snail

happy:snail

• scale (float): If added, sets the size of the particle. Otherwise, 0.15 + a small amount is chosen.
• max_age (int): Determines the max amount of ticks the particle will last.
• gravity_strength (float): The strength of gravity for the particle (A 20th of this value is subtracted from the Y velocity every tick)
• speed (float): The speed of the particle after landing on the ground. Set to "0" to not move and immediately start shrinking upon landing.
• min_color (Vector3f): The min RGB color when choosing a random color between "min_color" and "max_color".
• max_color (Vector3f): The max RGB color when choosing a random color between "min_color" and "max_color".
  • If both min_color and max_color are not added, a random color(most of the time a nice blue, but sometimes a random saturated color) is chosen instead.
  • It doesn't actually matter if min_color is greater than max_color.
