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

Simply 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 a 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 amount of particles, you can cache instances of ParticleType and ParticleData to slightly improve performances.
