Particle Line

Spawns particles following a line from one location straight to another.

Parameters

ParameterDescriptionExample
FromLocationThe start location of the particles in the format world, x, y, z.world, 196.3, 64, -381.8
ToLocationThe end location of the particles in the format world, x, y, z.world, 199.3, 62, -388.8
ParticleThe particle to spawn. See the Bukkit Particle List for available particles.FLAME
AmountThe number of particles to spawn.200
SpeedThe speed at which the origin moves from the start location to the end location, measured in blocks per second.3
FrequencyMinecraft spawns new entities or particles every tick. When speed is very high, gaps may appear between particles. This parameter defines how many particles should spawn per block to avoid gaps. This effect only activates if the default particle density is lower than this frequency.5
dXSpread along the X-axis where the particle may spawn.1
dYSpread along the Y-axis where the particle may spawn.1
dZSpread along the Z-axis where the particle may spawn.1
ForceIf true, particles are visible to players regardless of distance (if in their view).false
SizeSize of the particle (only works for REDSTONE, SPELL_MOB, and SPELL_MOB_AMBIENT).1.0
ColorRGB color of the particle (only for REDSTONE, SPELL_MOB, and SPELL_MOB_AMBIENT). Format: R, G, B.123, 186, 92
BlockBlock material for particles that require a block type (BLOCK_CRACK, BLOCK_DUST, FALLING_DUST, ITEM_CRACK).STONE
DelayNumber of ticks to wait after the show starts before the effect activates.40

Frequency Extra Info

Minecraft spawns new entities or particles every tick. When speed is very high, empty spaces can appear between particles. The frequency parameter specifies how many particles should spawn per block to fill these gaps.

This activates only if the default particle density is lower than the frequency.

Example:
A particle line travels 10 blocks at a speed of 1 block/second with a frequency of 5:

  • 1 block/s means 20 ticks per block → 20 particles/block (since 1 particle per tick)
  • 20 > 5, so frequency does not activate.

If speed is increased to 10 blocks/second:

  • 10 blocks/s means 2 particles per block → 2 < 5, so frequency activates to spawn extra particles.
