So in the effects tab on Animation there's something called "Particle" and I wanna ask, what is it? And how come there's not been a tutorial (that I've looked for) that uses it?
(If someone is able to respond please atleast Ping me for me to know, Ty!)

Hey uhh <@149961421134757888>? You available?
Available, but I never really worked with particles either.
Afaik they are for particles made in "Snowstorm".

Tbh I wish that Blockbench had its own Particle maker or that Snowstorm had a website like Blockbench's ;-;
But thanks for telling me

Snowstorm is also made by Jannis.
But particles use Minecraft Bedrock specific logic and are not only bound to models, hence separate program.

Sounds a bit complicated ;-; ugh whyyy ;-;
frank spindle
Why does it sound complicated?
Would you want Microsoft Excel and Word be one program too?
astral jay
I don't use Excel ;-;
frank spindle
But you know what it is approximately, right?
astral jay
Not really ;-;
frank spindle
Google Sheets?
astral jay
Not to sound stupid but Nope
frank spindle
hmm, let me think of a different example then
astral jay
Like Hallow Knight and Silksong being two separate games instead of one combined game which is what Team Cherry originally planned?
frank spindle
Nah, those are 2 games (2 separate games that have nothing to do with one another (as in nothing you do in one affects the other)).
So not really working as example here, cause Snowstorm isn't a separate model editor.
astral jay
Ah alr
frank spindle
Would you combine a calculator and a messaging app like Discord into one app?
frank spindle
Snowstorm is for making particles, yes.
astral jay
I meant to say not Just lol-
frank spindle
Blockbench can display said particles in your animations for preview purposes.
Yeah, Snowstorm is only for making particles.
astral jay
Are there alternatives for Snowstorm? I'm on mobile and tbh Pc Blockbench doesn't feel the same
frank spindle
Depends on what you wanna use those particles for in the end.
Snowstorm is the one I'm aware of and most people use.
frank spindle
So just for Blockbench animation, nothing external? (Minecraft, Blender, etc.)
Cause then I'm pretty sure you are stuck with Snowstorm.
frank spindle
I mean, yeah, but why would you wanna manually type .json based particles instead 🤔?
-# assuming we are still talking about particles for use in Blockbench
astral jay
Honestly I shouldn't have asked abt the Particles ;-;
It's smth I probably shouldn't get into because of Mobile ;-;
And from what I know Snowstorm is on PC only so yeah ;-;
frank spindle
Yeah, I can't really help with phone stuff. I'd never use my phone for modeling etc.
