PlayerParticles

Table of Contents

PlayerParticles has moved to Spigot. Please download the plugin from https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/playerparticles.40261/ for now on. Newer versions will no longer be uploaded here.

PlayerParticles is great to use as a VIP perk and is EULA friendly! Your players will love the amount of customization that is available for them!

The plugin wiki can be found here: https://github.com/Esophose/PlayerParticles/wiki

Permission details can be found in the wiki here: https://github.com/Esophose/PlayerParticles/wiki/Permissions

The GUI provides ease-of-access for your users. Simply typing /pp will open the GUI and bring them to a menu where they can edit their particles. If you are using the plugin for a server lobby, you can bind the /pp gui command to an item using a different plugin.

The section below contains a GIF of all styles currently available in the plugin. Please note that all styles are compatible with all particle effects, meaning there are thousands of combinations. I only show one effect per style in the GIFs below. While most of the GIFs only show the particles around a player, the majority of them can also be placed around blocks.

Arrows

Batman

Beam

BlockBreak

BlockPlace

Celebration

Chains

Companion

Cube

Feet

Halo

Hurt

Invocation

Move

Normal

Orbit

Overhead

Point

Popper

Pulse

Quadhelix

Rings

Sphere

Spin

Spiral

Swords

Thick

Twins

Vortex

Whirl

Whirlwind

Wings

PlayerParticles will check for an update each time your server starts. The plugin .jar will never be downloaded, OPs will get a notification in chat when they log in if an update is available. PlayerParticles will also send metrics about your server anonymously through bStats.

Update checking can be turned off by setting check-updates to false in the config.yml. Metrics can be turned off by setting send-metrics to false in the config.yml.

If a player has their particle settings (In Options > Video Settings) set to minimal they will be unable to see most particles displayed. I am unable to fix this since it is purely client side.

I will only help you with errors you are having if you are running the latest version of the plugin and are running a supported version of Minecraft!

You aren't missing anything, nowhere in the description does it say you are able to set particles for other players. I was planning to do this in a future update, but you would only be able to set the effect/style to something that the player has permission for. I'm not sure why you're wanting to set their particles without them setting it themselves, a little insight here could help.

Is it possible to have more than 1 particle on at a time? If not, it'd be cool to have.

I don't see it being possible any time in the near future, and I'm not sure what other types of wings that I could add.

How does the style "swords" work? I've tried with different particles and nothing happens. Also, can there be different types of wings in the next update?

Some of the styles are based on actions, and 'swords' is one of them.

Move: Spawns around the player when they move

Arrows: Spawns around arrows that you shoot with a bow

Swords: Spawns around mobs that you hit with a sword

Hurt: Spawns around the player when they take damage

Blockplace: Spawns around blocks you place

Blockbreak: Spawns around blocks you break

Blockedit: Spawns around blocks you break/place

Hope this help anybody else who is wondering in the future.

There isn't any output in your chat when you are using the GUI. Are you sure it isn't working? Do you have your particles set to All in Video Settings?

PlayerParticles v5 has been released. The long awaited GUI has been finally added.

I apologize that 1.7 and 1.8 are no longer supported, but newer features that this plugin uses are not available in these versions.

If you are using one of these unsupported versions and would like to stop getting update notifications, simply set check-updates to false in the config.yml.

EDIT: Added support for 1.8 using a special version.

I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean. Are you suggesting a new style could be added that displays particles based on your position (x, y, z) in the world? If so, yes, that is possible. If that's the case, what would you like it to look like?

Something like.

Advanced:
# A pre-defined mathematical shape for the particles to be displayed in
# (Available: "BALL", "HELIX", "OPEN_END_HELIX", "CUSTOM")
preset-shape: 'OPEN_END_HELIX'

# The mathematical expression in which particles will be spawned along the x coordinate
x-coord-expression: 'cos(theta)'

# The mathematical expression in which particles will be spawned along the z coordinate
z-coord-expression: 'sin(theta)'

This seems like something very technical that would only appeal to a very specific audience. If you create an issue ticket and mark it as an enhancement, I might get to it some day.

I am attempting to learn more and more about plugins and I am just curious, is there a way to limit these particles to a certain area? or have them activate when a player stands still for a certain amount of time?
