Every New 1.20 Particle In Minecraft Trails and Tales!

Hey everybody, it’s UnderMyCap and welcome back to another video! Today I’m going to be showing you all the new particles in Minecraft 1.20. This guide will work for both Java and Bedrock Edition — I’ll walk through everything in Java first, and then show you exactly how to do it in Bedrock Edition as well. If you’d prefer to watch the video version, you can check it out here: Every New 1.20 Particle In Minecraft Trails and Tales!!

The Three New Particles in Minecraft 1.20

In this update, there are three brand new particles to discover, and each one is really unique and exciting in its own way. Let’s start off with the basics and work our way through each one.

1. The Block Particle — Brushing Suspicious Sand

The archaeology update adds a brand new mechanic where you can brush suspicious sand and other suspicious blocks. When you brush these specific blocks, you’ll notice a special particle effect coming off of them. You might be thinking, “Hey, I’ve seen that before when I break a block!” — and you’d be exactly right! This particle is actually the block command particle, and what makes it really cool is that while it’s set to sand here, you can actually set it to any block you like. In this update, it’s specifically tied to blocks with the suspicious tag on them, but it’s still one of the cool new additions worth knowing about.

2. The Egg Crack Particle

Moving on, we have the egg crack command particle. This one is more associated with certain egg-type blocks, and when triggered, you can see it produces a really nice green particle effect. To use this particle yourself, the command is:

/particle minecraft:egg_crack ~ ~ ~ 0.2 0.2 0.2 0 10 force @a

You simply use the slash particle command followed by minecraft:egg_crack, then set your positioning and delta points — I used a simple 0.2 — and then add the 0, 10, and force parameters at the end. If you know more about which specific egg blocks trigger this particle naturally in-game, feel free to leave a comment below!

3. The Cherry Leaves Particle — A Personal Favourite

Now for the last one, and honestly this is one of my absolute favourite particles in the whole game. Just look at how incredible it looks — it completely transforms the atmosphere of an area. The Cherry Leaves particle produces beautiful pink petals that fall and float around, and combined with the cherry blossom trees and pink petals in 1.20, it just looks so stunning. To get this particle in Java Edition, the command is:

/particle minecraft:cherry_leaves ~ ~ ~ 0.5 0.5 0.5 0 50 force @a

By the way, all of the commands are also available in the video description if you’d like to copy and paste them directly into your world. Just please note that the Java version of this command will not work on Bedrock Edition — but don’t worry, I’ve got you covered below!

How to Get the Cherry Leaves Particle in Bedrock Edition

Switching over to Bedrock Edition, you’ll notice things look a little different, but the great news is that the Cherry Blossom particles look absolutely identical! To get the Cherry Leaves particle in Bedrock, you’ll need to use a slightly different command through a command block. This specific command will summon the Cherry particle leaves wherever you want them, spawning about one block above the chosen position. I’ll also include this Bedrock command in the video description for easy access.

Bonus Tip — Removing the Annoying Command Output Text

One quick tip worth mentioning — when you run these commands, you’ll notice some text appearing in the corner of your screen which can be a little distracting. You can actually remove this on both Java and Bedrock Edition by using the following game rule command:

/gamerule sendCommandFeedback false

Once you do that, you won’t get that annoying output text anymore and the particles will still look absolutely amazing!
