ParticlePeek

See what a particle actually looks like — before you ever type /particle.

ParticlePeek is a lightweight, client-side utility for map makers, datapack creators, command-block users and server builders. Stop guessing particle names and running the same command over and over — browse, search and preview every particle right in-game, then copy a ready-to-use command.

✨ Features

Browse & search

• 🔎 Particle Browser — open with /particlepeek or a keybind. Lists every registered particle, vanilla and modded (read live from the game registry — nothing is hard-coded).
• ⌨️ Search by name or namespace; the namespace is shown for every entry.
• ⭐ Favourites — star the particles you use most; they jump to the top and are remembered between sessions.
• 🖼️ Icons everywhere — a little particle sprite next to each name in the browser and next to each suggestion in the /particle auto-complete, so you spot the right one at a glance.

Real previews

• 🎬 The particle's actual texture, in its real colour (e.g. dripping_lava is orange — read from the particle itself, not guessed)…
• 🌀 …with live motion — a real particle is ticked so the preview drifts / falls / fades like the real thing, on a loop. Play / Pause whenever you like.

Build & test

• 🛠️ Parameter editor — for particles that need extra data (dust, block, item, dust_color_transition, …) edit the parameters right in the panel. Input is validated live (using the game's own particle parser, so it works for modded particles too) and turned into a fully-correct command.
• ⚡ Test locally — spawn the particle (or your configured one) in front of you, purely client-side. No server needed.
• 📋 Copy /particle command — a correct, ready-to-paste command, every time.

🧩 Client-side — no server install needed

ParticlePeek runs entirely on your client. Use it in single-player or on any multiplayer server (vanilla or modded) without installing it server-side. It never crashes on unknown or modded particles.
