FastParticles

Lightweight particle API for Bukkit plugins, compatible with all Minecraft versions starting with 1.7.10!

Important

If you don't need 1.7/1.8 support, this library is not required, and you should just use the Bukkit methods Player#spawnParticle and World#spawnParticle.

Features

• Easy to use
• No reflection on compatible Bukkit versions
• Support all particle data on all versions for legacy particles
• Works on 1.13 and higher servers, with and without legacy particles

Usage

Spawning particles

Use a method from FastParticle:

// Get a ParticleType
ParticleType flame = ParticleType.of("FLAME");
ParticleType redstone = ParticleType.of("REDSTONE");
ParticleType blockCrack = ParticleType.of("BLOCK_CRACK");

// Spawn particle for a player
flame.spawn(player, loc, 1);

// Spawn particle for all players in the world
flame.spawn(world, loc, 1);

// Spawn colored particle to a player
redstone.spawn(player, loc, 1, ParticleData.createDustOptions(Color.BLUE, 1));

// Spawn block crack particle to a player
blockCrack.spawn(player, loc, 1, ParticleData.createBlockData(Material.DIAMOND));

When you need to spawn a large number of particles, you can cache instances of ParticleType and ParticleData to slightly improve performances.
