Electric Spark Particle Command
Copy the /particle command for electric_spark in Minecraft Java 26.2 and Bedrock 26.32. Commands spawn particles 1 block above your position (~ ~1 ~).
Single burst (20 particles)
Java
/particle electric_spark ~ ~1 ~ 0 0 0 0 20Bedrock
/particle electric_spark ~ ~1 ~ 0 0 0 0 20Spread cloud
dx/dy/dz of 1 creates a 2×2×2 block spread; 100 particles fills the cloud visibly.

/particle electric_spark ~ ~1 ~ 1 1 1 0.05 100Force mode (visible at distance)
Normal particles only render within ~16 blocks. force extends visibility to the player's full render distance.

Useful for precise positioning — place one particle to check alignment before scaling up.

- How do I spawn the Electric Spark particle in Minecraft?
- Enable cheats or use OP, open chat with T or /, and run /particle electric_spark ~ ~1 ~ 0 0 0 0 20. Particles spawn 1 block above your position. Increase the count argument to make the effect more visible.
- What do the dx, dy, dz, speed, and count arguments mean?
- dx/dy/dz set the spread radius in each direction (0 = pinpoint, 1 = 2-block spread). Speed controls how fast particles move outward. Count is the number of particles spawned per command. Setting count to 0 with speed > 0 fires a single directional particle instead.
- Why can't I see the particle from far away?
- Particles are only visible within about 16 blocks in normal mode. Use the force argument (Java only) to extend visibility to your render distance: /particle electric_spark ~ ~1 ~ 0 0 0 0 20 force
- Does /particle work on Bedrock Edition?
- Yes, but force mode and some particle types are Java-only. On Bedrock, particles render within the standard 16-block radius and the command ends after the count argument.
