Particles.png

particles.png is a texture atlas found inside minecraft.jar that is used to load the majority of the game's particle textures, excluding those derived from other textures. There are also other texture sheets used for other different particles, such as explosion particles.
== Format ==
particles.png may have changed width with time. The file is split into different squares, usually 8x8 but bigger for some other cases, which correspond to the texture of many particles found in-game. Like with items.png, unused sections of the texture are completely transparent, unlike with terrain.png and the paintings sheet where such regions are colored magenta.
