Snowstorm

Snowstorm

Blockbuster adheres mostly to the Bedrock snowstorm documentation provided here Minecraft Bedrock Snowstorm Documentation

However, Blockbuster also implements extra features and more functionality-

Components

Here is a list of components and their json parts.

Emitter Shape

This component is executed once for every particle and initializes its starting position and direction.

All sub-components include the following information:

"minecraft:emitter_shape_...": {
    // emit only from the surface of the shape
    "surface_only": <bool> <default:false>

    // specifies the offset from the emitter to emit the particles
    "offset": [<float/molang>, <float/molang>, <float/molang>] <default:[0, 0, 0]>

    // blockbuster feature
    // whether to rotate the direction vector according to the emitter rotation
    "local_direction": <bool> <default:false>

    // blockbuster feature
    // whether the emitter should rotate and scale the shape, which also includes offset
    "local_shape": <bool> <default:false>

    // the direction of the particle.
    // <default:"outwards">
    "direction": "inwards" // particle direction towards the center of the shape
    "direction": "outwards" // particle direction away from center
    // the length of the custom vector doesn't matter as the speed will be set in a different component.
    "direction": [<float/molang>, <float/molang>, <float/molang>] <default:[0, 0, 0]
}

Emitter Shape Point

"minecraft:emitter_shape_point": {
    // specifies the offset from the emitter to emit the particles
    "offset": [<float/molang>, <float/molang>, <float/molang>] <default:[0, 0, 0]>
    
    // blockbuster feature
    // whether to rotate the direction vector according to the emitter rotation
    "local_direction": <bool> <default:false>

    // blockbuster feature
    // whether the emitter should rotate and scale the shape, which also includes offset
    "local_shape": <bool> <default:false>

    // the direction of the particle. Its length doesn't matter, the speed will be set in a different component.
    "direction": [<float/molang>, <float/molang>, <float/molang>]
}

Emitter Shape Box

"minecraft:emitter_shape_box": {
    // specifies the offset from the emitter to emit the particles
    "offset": [<float/molang>, <float/molang>, <float/molang>] <default:[0, 0, 0]>

    // blockbuster feature
    // whether to rotate the direction vector according to the emitter rotation
    "local_direction": <bool> <default:false>

    // blockbuster feature
    // whether the emitter should rotate and scale the shape, which also includes offset
    "local_shape": <bool> <default:false>

    // box dimensions
    // the half dimensions of the box, i.e. a value of 1 for x, would give a total width of 2
    "half_dimensions": [<float/molang>, <float/molang> <float/molang],

    // emit only from the surface of the box
    "surface_only": <bool> <default:false>

    // specifies the direction of particles. Defaults to "outwards"
    "direction": "inwards" // particle direction towards center of sphere
    "direction": "outwards" // particle direction away from center of sphere
    "direction": [<float/molang>, <float/molang>, <float/molang>]
}
