Changing Colors of Particles?

[Guest]

Hello,

 

I was wondering if there was a way to spawn particles with modified colors. Specifically, I'd like to spawn EnumParticleTypes.DRIP_WATER but orange. (It's supposed to be like tree sap dripping from the tree.)

 

Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

You would either need to create your own particle class or use WorldRenderer#addParticleUnchecked(it's private so you need reflection) that gets you the reference to the added particle so you can manually change it's colour fields. 

That is assuming 1.13.2. In 1.12 the method you need is RenderGlobal#spawnParticle0.

You could also use ParticleManager#spawnEffectParticle(1.12) or ParticleManager#addParticle(1.13) but you would need to replicate some checks WorldRenderer does.

You could also iterate the particle list(it is also private), find your particle there and change it's colour fields.

How would I go about doing that? I'm in 1.12, so would I end up using RenderGlobal#spawnParticle() or something else?

I just told you. Use reflection to access the list, iterate it, find your particle in it(likely based on it's position) and change the colour fields. I wouldn't recommend this way though.

Sure, you can do that, that's one of the ways I've suggested.
