Particles

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 command can be used to create particles.
If a player uses the "minimal" particles option in the video settings, some particles may not appear.
== Types of particles ==
The types of particles and their ID names are displayed below. Particles are namespaced with the prefix minecraft:.
Particle names marked with an asterisk ( * ) are shown when using the "minimal" particles setting. particles currently do not show color if a specific particle has multiple colors (an example is the note particle), these particles are marked with ( ! ).

*, most particle textures can be changed using resource packs, however, the color of smoke particles used in redstone, portals, and endermen cannot be changed without mods.
**The dust particle has unique syntax used for color, represented with three RGB values as decimal percentages.
*Status effect particles appear where the player face is pointing.
*The elder_guardian particle always follows the player regardless of what its location has been set to.
*Redstone repeaters emit particles, but redstone comparators do not.	
*, burning entities emit rounded particles with a fire animation.
*There is a particle that is internally used to implement the item pickup animation, but it cannot be summoned with the command. Before the name was removed in 1.13, it was called take.
