Minecraft – Particle Help On Commands

minecraft-commandsminecraft-java-edition

On minecraft, I have this command:

execute @e[name=unknown] ~ ~ ~ particle smoke ~ ~ ~ particle smoke ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1 100

What it should do it spawn particles when the fishing rod 'bobber' is but instead I get the error:

[19:52:51] Failed to execute 'particle smoke ~ ~ ~ particle smoke ~ ~ ~ 0 0 0 1 100' as unknown

Any help on fixing my command?

According to the Minecraft Wiki , the particle command should be used like this:

particle <name> <x> <y> <z> <xd> <yd> <zd> <speed> [count] [mode]

x, y, and z specify the location.

xd, yd, and zd specify the size of the area to create particles in.

speed is the speed of the particles.


In your case, the command would be execute @e[name=unknown] ~ ~ ~ particle smoke ~ ~ ~ <xd> <yd> <zd> <speed>.

You cannot use tilde (~) notation for the size of the area. You must specify an absolute value.
