Apply Your First Particle Effect

Basic Setup

Particle effects are applied using command slots. You have three available slots that determine where particles appear around your player:

  • above – particles display above your head
  • around – particles surround your body
  • below – particles display at your feet

Applying a Particle

1. Open the chat window (T key by default)

2. Type /playerparticles <slot> <particle> where:

  • <slot> is one of: above, around, or below
  • <particle> is the particle name (for example: enchant, smoke, flame)

3. Press Enter to apply

For particles that require additional parameters (like color or motion), add them after the particle name.

Verify It Worked

Your particles should appear immediately around your character. If nothing shows up, double-check the particle name spelling and ensure your particles are enabled with /playerparticles on.

You can apply different particles to each slot simultaneously—try enchant above, flame around, and smoke below for a layered effect.
