Solved NMS colored particles

Hey all! So while making a plugin for my server, I've ran into a slight problem, and it is that I cannot use Particles.DUST as the first parameter of PacketPlayOutWorldParticles. I can use every other particle, but I specifically need the DUST effect. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Code:

dust = new DustOptions(Color.fromRGB(255, 136, 77), 1);
p.spawnParticle(Particle.REDSTONE, p.getLocation().getX(), p.getLocation().getY()+1, p.getLocation().getZ(), 20, 1.5, 1, 1.5, 1, dust);

Just some code from one of my plugins its self explanatory really. Also for block dust use this

Code:

BlockData bd = Material.SAND.createBlockData();
p.spawnParticle(Particle.FALLING_DUST, p.getLocation().getX(), p.getLocation().getY()+2, p.getLocation().getZ(), 10, 1.5, 0.5, 1.5, 1, bd);

 

@davidclue sorry for the late reply, was out traveling. Unfortunately, this is not what I meant. I want to use NMS PacketPlayOutWorldParticles to send colored particles to the client. I know that you can and you should always avoid using NMS, but in this case I have to.

 

I mean, you can just search it up. One google search can give a lot of results and one may host your answer.

Code:

PacketPlayOutWorldParticles p1 = new PacketPlayOutWorldParticles(EnumParticle.REDSTONE, true, (float) l1.getX(), (float) l1.getY(), (float) l1.getZ(), red/255, green/255, blue/255, (float) 1, 0);

Wiki for the packet here.

 

Not an expert on NMS, but might help to say what version as well as any code you can provide.

 

I am using the version 1.16, which does not have EnumParticle, but rather just Particles. However, you cannot use Particles.DUST in PacketPlayOutWorldParticles, and I could not find any up-to-date posts on this topic, so I thought I would make one myself.

Edit: You cant use Particles.DUST because it is of type Particle<net.minecraft.server.v1_16_R3.ParticleParamRedstone> and not ParticleType

 

@OkayName You said you wanted colored particles. In my previous post that is literally code to spawn any color of particles without NMS.

 

@davidclue I mentioned me using PacketPlayOutWorldParticles in the original post, which is a part of NMS.

 

@OkayName Why would you wanna use NMS when there is a much easier solution for the exact same thing without it???

 

@davidclue I don't have to explain myself if I don't want to. If you don't know the answer then please don't post anything.

Also, I literally said in my reply that I specifically need to use NMS.

 

He is simply trying to help you, so there is no need to get defensive.

I do not see any reason for you to "need" to use NMS. If you only want it client-side, I am pretty sure Player#spawnParticle(...) only sends it to that player, and World#spawnParticle(...) sends it to everyone.

But if you really do want to use NMS (for whatever reason), you can look at the decompiled source for your version of NMS.

 

@OkayName
NMS is advised against if you have a way to avoid it,... which you have. I suggested a solution assuming you are developing for earlier versions (especially 1.8) because there would be no way to spawn a particle using the bare Bukkit 1.8 API, this is when NMS comes into place.
Just use the fricking provided method to do so as @davidclue has mentioned.

But if you still want to use the Packet, they changed from EnumParticle to a generic Particle, you can search through the values with Particles now.

PHP:

PacketPlayOutWorldParticles(Particles.CRIT, true, location.getX(), location.getY(), location.getZ(), 0.5F, 0.5F, 0.5F, 0F, 1)
// The params: Particle Type, longDistance, X coord, Y coord, Z coord, offset X, offset Y, offset Z, data, count

EDIT: Forgot to read that the first parameter accepts only a generic of ParticleParam and as ParticleParamRedstone is a superclass of it, it can not be accepted. Likewise, bare ParticleParamBlock and ParticleParamItem can not be accepted without creating an instance first.
I'm not sure about what the params are:
