Talk:Particles (Java Edition)

Does anyone know where the particle gust_dust is used? I've just done some testing and it does not appear when a wind charge hits a block as previously stated on this article. – ZacNVR (talk) 01:50, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

I can't find any reference to GUST_DUST in the 24w13a source, so it seems like it had it's name changed between 1.20.4 and now, or was removed. Jjlrjjlr (talk) 04:25, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Ok, so after checking, gust_dust.json was removed in 24w03b. Prior to that, in 1.20.4, it was used in net.minecraft.world.entity.monster.breeze.Breeze.emitJumpDustParticles, though the method itself is never called anywhere from what i can tell. Jjlrjjlr (talk) 04:41, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

...has an upcoming template. Plz fix! Nerdyguy2000 (talk) 16:44, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

User:Misode fixed it. Thanks! Nerdyguy2000 (talk) 18:20, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

ambient_entity_effect appears to no longer be used in-game, as of 1.20.5.

1.20.6 contains a JSON file at assets/minecraft/particles/ambient_entity_effect.json, but isn't found in the decompiled source (using official mappings). 1.21 removes this JSON file. Flerouwu (talk) 07:18, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

@User-12316399: See the discussion I started on Talk:Advancement. There's even less info in this case. Explain why you think this page and Advancement should be split. --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 11:19, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

I can't find any info about on the wiki about assets/minecraft/particle for resource pack stuff. Some more info about it (when it was added) would be nice. I know how to use these files and what they do, I just wanna know when they were added for version compatibility stuff. M (talk) 14:13, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

See Particle format. I also added a hatnote on the page. --MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 01:37, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Some of the particle textures are very difficult to see in light mode; they are nearly the color of the background. For example, here is approximately how the effect particles look in light and dark mode.

Should we change the background color of the texture column to match the default dark mode table background? Is there another middle ground color that looks good on light and dark mode? Is there another solution? Rampage455 (talk) 04:54, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

I suggest using #ffccdd, as seen in the "List of particle textures" page before it was redirected to the disambig, because it provides contrast to both light and dark particles. ‑‑MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 05:10, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Actually I meant #ddccff, I referred to the wrong one ‑‑MinecraftExp123^{(talk|contribs)} 05:29, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
