So I am very new to modding and I want to make it so if a specific item (such as an ender pearl or player head) is on the ground then it has particles around it. How do I do this? I have made this code already which works so how do I extend upon this?

 

 @SubscribeEvent
    public void onEntityConstructing(EntityEvent.EntityConstructing event) {
        if (event.entity instanceof EntityItem) {
            System.out.println("Someone drops something");
        }
    }

 

Also are there any decent 1.8.9 tutorials? I can't find any for the sort of things I want to do

1.8.9 is four years old. Update.

No. My mod is specifically for 1.8.9 and I do not play on higher versions.

1.8.9 is no longer supported on this forum. For more information please read the LTS at the top of the page.

ok then, that is bad though because a lot of people much prefer to stay in lower versions

We know. Which is why there's a post about what versions Forge supports.

That's fine for them. But Forge's policy is stated in the LTS and I agree with it. Do you see Mojang actively supporting 1.8.9? Nope.
