[1.8] Spawn Particles on right click

[Vi The King]

Herro! I was wondering if anyone knew how to use 'world.spawnParticle', and if they could help me a bit. I want it so when I use an item, it spawns particles 'onRightClick'. I can do the rclick bit, but the particles part is confusing for me Thanks.

Item's onRightClick happens on both sides. Note that while normal entities should be ALWAYS spawned on server, the partcles (which are also "entities", but special), are CLIENT side only. Do the client-check and spawn them, what is the problem? For example line of code lookup TNT (primed I think) or even BlockFurnace.

Oh! Thanks

While this is technically true it is misleading. Assuming you want all the players to see the particles then you want to initiate the spawning of particles on server side. You don't actually spawn them there, but that is where you call the "spawn" methods that actually send packets to the client that do the actual spawning.
