Solved Playing STEP_SOUND particles without sound?

Code:java

for (Location pos: util.getSphere(user.getTargetBlock(null, 10).getLocation(), 5, 5, true, true, 1)) {
    l.getWorld().playEffect(new Location(l.getWorld(), pos.getBlockX(), pos.getBlockY(), pos.getBlockZ()), Effect.STEP_SOUND, Material.ICE);
}

equivalent of a screamer ^, which scared the living do I say what out of me. I'm trying to play an ice breaking particle effect in a 5x5x5 area, so should I use Packet63WorldParticles instead, or use ProtocolLib to remove the sound? Or is there a better way to do this?

 

Assist Best way would be by using protocolLib.

Send a World Particle Effect packet with that.

Also, would you mind to share your getSphere() method?

I went with fireworks instead

Code:

public List<Location> getSphere(Location loc, Integer r, Integer h, Boolean hollow, Boolean sphere, int plus_y) {
        List<Location> circleblocks = new ArrayList<Location>();
        int cx = loc.getBlockX();
        int cy = loc.getBlockY();
        int cz = loc.getBlockZ();
        for (int x = cx - r; x <= cx + r; x++) {
            for (int z = cz - r; z <= cz + r; z++) {
                for (int y = (sphere ? cy - r : cy); y < (sphere ? cy + r : cy + h); y++) {
                    double dist = (cx - x) * (cx - x) + (cz - z) * (cz - z) + (sphere ? (cy - y) * (cy - y) : 0);
                    if (dist < r * r && !(hollow && dist < (r - 1) * (r - 1))) {
                        Location l = new Location(loc.getWorld(), x, y + plus_y, z);
                        circleblocks.add(l);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
 
        return circleblocks;
    }

credit to chasechocolate , really nice method
