🌟 Custom Particles

In this page we're going to see how particles are stored, registered and accessed.

🎁 Registration (Resource Packs)

Although this is perfectly possible within a mod (And HammerAnimations does it too for sanity checking), this is suggested to be kept for resource packs.

With that out of the way, first of all you're going to need to make a new json file letting HammerAnimations know what to load... The file in question will ALWAYS be located in /assets/hammeranims/bedrock/custom_particles.json Put all extra particle effects that you wish to load.

Example:

{
  "load": [
    "yourmod:tornado"
  ]
}

This loads particle effect from /assets/yourmod/bedrock/particles/tornado.particle.json when reloading resource packs, or via /hammeranims reload.

🔃 Resource loading

To make the particles actually load, you need to put the effect files into your mod's resources.

They are generally stored in /assets/yourmod/bedrock/particles/ folder.

Thus, the particle effect from our example should be located at /assets/yourmod/bedrock/particles/your_particle.particle.json.

tip

If you want to simplify the .particle.json suffix to just .json, replace IParticleContainer.create() call with IParticleContainer.createNoSuffix()
