Particles (Bedrock Edition)

It has been suggested that this page be split.

 ^[discuss]

If this split affects many pages, or may potentially be controversial, do not split until a consensus has been reached.
Reason: Many other pages like this have been split; would one page per type of particle be better?

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 /particle command can be used to create particles.

Types of particles

The types of particles and their ID names are displayed below. Particles are name spaced with the prefix minecraft:.

Instructions: Java & Bedrock particles in 1.16/1.17 - Historical particles associated with cauldrons in Bedrock Edition

Trivia

• Most particles can have their appearance completely changed by resource packs.
• Status effect particles appear where the player face is pointing.
• Redstone repeaters emit particles, but redstone comparators do not.
• Burning entities used to emit rounded particles with a fire animation, however now this particle is only used for blazes, and the fire animation has been replaced with one similar to that of Java Edition.
• When lava or water is placed above pointed dripstone to fill a cauldron, stalactite_lava_drip_particle or stalactite_water_drip_particle particles drip off the dripstone, except right before the lava or water in the cauldron goes up a level, when lava_drip_particle or water_drip_particle particles are used instead.
