Particle Command Generator

Spawn particle effects — flames, hearts, smoke — at a chosen position

Particles spawn randomly inside a box of this size around the point.

Set to 0 to make particles shoot in one direction based on the spread and speed values.

How to use the Particle generator

  1. Choose the particle and the coordinates where it should appear.
  2. On Java you can adjust the spread, speed, and count (Bedrock has none of these, so the system hides them).
  3. Combine it with the Execute command to make particles follow a player or mob.

The particle IDs suggested on this page are for Java Edition — when a verified Bedrock ID is available, it is converted automatically (for example minecraft:flame_particle instead of minecraft:flame) IDs without a mapping still show a warning so you can double-check them.

Worked examples

The examples below come out of the same generator as the form above, so the commands and explanations always match what the tool produces. Copy one and adjust it from there

1. A cluster of flame particles overhead

The delta controls how far the particles spread and the count controls density — tune the two together

/particle minecraft:flame ~ ~2 ~ 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.05 30

What it does Will spawn particle "Flame" at ~ ~2 ~, 30 particle(s), spread over 0.5 0.5 0.5.

2. A single point with no spread

Zero spread on all three axes stacks the particles at one point — good as a position marker

/particle minecraft:heart ~ ~1 ~ 0 0 0 0 5

What it does Will spawn particle "Heart" at ~ ~1 ~, 5 particle(s).

3. A wide curtain of particles

Widen the delta for an area effect, but too high a count will make the game stutter

/particle minecraft:cloud ~ ~ ~ 3 1 3 0.01 100

What it does Will spawn particle "Cloud" at ~ ~ ~, 100 particle(s), spread over 3 1 3.

How this command differs by edition and version

This is the first example above, run through every edition and version this tool supports. Versions that produce the same result share a row

Java Edition 1.21.5 and up Java Edition 1.20.5 - 1.21.4 Java Edition 1.13 - 1.20.4 (legacy NBT) 
/particle minecraft:flame ~ ~2 ~ 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.05 30
Bedrock Edition (stable) 
/particle minecraft:flame_particle ~ ~2 ~
