Minimum Java Version: Java 25
PARTICLE TEXT
Particle Text creates persistent, customizable text displays using native Minecraft particles.
Build welcoming signs, server information displays, animated-looking decorations, live PlaceholderAPI boards, and eye-catching labels without relying on armor stands or entity-based holograms. Every renderer can have its own text, particle, scale, font, position, enabled state, inverted style, and three-axis rotation.

PARTICLE TEXT
Particle Text creates persistent, customizable text displays using native Minecraft particles.
Build welcoming signs, server information displays, animated-looking decorations, live PlaceholderAPI boards, and eye-catching labels without relying on armor stands or entity-based holograms. Every renderer can have its own text, particle, scale, font, position, enabled state, inverted style, and three-axis rotation.
✨ FEATURES ✨
- Persistent Particle Text: Create displays that are saved automatically and restored when the server starts.
- Deep Renderer Customization: Give every display its own text, particle, scale, font family, font style, font size, enabled state, and inverted mode.
- Three-Axis Rotation: Rotate text independently on the X, Y, and Z axes for walls, floors, angled signs, and creative builds.
- Interactive Management Menu: Browse all renderers through an in-game paginated GUI, teleport with left-click, and toggle rendering with right-click.
- Precise Relative Positioning: Nudge a renderer forward, backward, left, right, up, or down relative to your viewing direction with configurable movement amounts.
- PlaceholderAPI Integration: Put live placeholders directly inside renderer text and expose ParticleText's own renderer placeholders to other plugins.
- Performance-Aware Rendering: Cached point clouds, viewer-distance filtering, pixel sampling, configurable refresh intervals, and per-renderer point caps keep work bounded.
- Player-Specific Visibility: Particles are sent only to players inside the configured view distance instead of being rendered globally.
- MiniMessage Configuration: Customize plugin messages and menu text with Adventure MiniMessage, gradients, decorations, and hex colors.
- Human-Readable Storage: Renderer text, style, transform, state, and location are stored in an editable renderers.yml file.
- Reload Without Restarting: Refresh settings, messages, renderer data, PlaceholderAPI text, menu values, and the render task with /pt reload.
- World Plugin Compatibility: Soft integration is declared for popular world managers and WorldGuard so renderers can coexist with common server setups.
INSTALLATION & QUICK START
Particle Text is designed to be configured directly in-game. Install the plugin, create a renderer at your position, then customize it without restarting the server.
Real in-game particle text rendered using native Minecraft particles:
Spoiler: Click to view Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Install Particle Text
Download the latest release, place particle-text-2.0.0.jar in your server's plugins directory, and start a Minecraft 26.2 server with Java 25.
Optional dependency: Install PlaceholderAPI if you want dynamic renderer text or ParticleText placeholders.
Step 2: Create Your First Renderer
Stand where the text should appear and create a renderer with a unique ID.
The renderer is created at your current location using the defaults from
config.yml.
Step 3: Open the Renderer Menu
Open the paginated management menu.
Step 4: Customize the Display
Change the text, scale, font, and particle at any time.
/pt text welcome Welcome, %player_name%!
/pt setsize welcome 0.30
/pt font welcome SansSerif BOLD 24
/pt particle welcome END_ROD
Step 5: Position and Rotate
Move the renderer to your location, nudge it relative to the direction you are facing, or rotate it around any axis.
/pt tphere welcome
/pt move welcome right 0.25
/pt move welcome up 0.10
/pt rotate welcome y 25
/pt rotate welcome z -10
Step 6: Add Dynamic Text (Optional)
With PlaceholderAPI installed, renderer text can contain placeholders from installed expansions.
Dynamic text is refreshed at the configured interval, and its point cloud is rebuilt only when the resolved value changes.
Step 1: Install Particle Text
Download the latest release, place particle-text-2.0.0.jar in your server's plugins directory, and start a Minecraft 26.2 server with Java 25.
Optional dependency: Install PlaceholderAPI if you want dynamic renderer text or ParticleText placeholders.
Step 2: Create Your First Renderer
Stand where the text should appear and create a renderer with a unique ID.
Code (Text):
/pt create welcome Welcome to the server!
Step 3: Open the Renderer Menu
Open the paginated management menu.
Code (Text):
/pt menu
- Left-click: Teleport to a renderer.
- Right-click: Enable or disable a renderer.
- Item lore: Review text, particle, scale, font, inverted state, and status.
Step 4: Customize the Display
Change the text, scale, font, and particle at any time.
Code (Text):
/pt text welcome Welcome, %player_name%!
/pt setsize welcome 0.30
/pt font welcome SansSerif BOLD 24
/pt particle welcome END_ROD
Move the renderer to your location, nudge it relative to the direction you are facing, or rotate it around any axis.
Code (Text):
/pt tphere welcome
/pt move welcome right 0.25
/pt move welcome up 0.10
/pt rotate welcome y 25
/pt rotate welcome z -10
With PlaceholderAPI installed, renderer text can contain placeholders from installed expansions.
Code (Text):
/pt text welcome Welcome, %player_name%! Online: %server_online%
RENDERER MANAGEMENT
- Create at Your Position: New renderers inherit cached defaults and use the player's current world and coordinates.
- Edit Live: Change text, particle, scale, font, rotation, and state while the server is running.
- Move or Visit: Teleport to a renderer, move it to your location, or nudge it in six directions with precise movement amounts.
- Toggle Instantly: Disable temporary displays without deleting their saved configuration.
- Reload Safely: Re-read files and rebuild the render task without a full server restart.
- Keep Data Portable: Back up or edit renderers.yml using a normal text editor.
