# Particles

Config file:

* `config/dawncosmetics/cosmetics/particles.json`

## File Shape

This file has global settings and two entry groups:

* `auras`
* `trails`

Global fields:

* `max_distance`
* `tick_rate`
* `min_speed_for_trail`

## Entry Fields

Each aura or trail can use:

* `name`
* `icon`
* `permission`
* `particle`
* `snowstorm_resource`
* `min_speed`
* `max_distance`
* `interval_ticks`
* `price`
* `rarity`
* `unlocked_lore`
* `locked_lore`

Inside `particle`:

* `type`
* `count`
* `speed`
* `spread`
* `size`
* `color`

## Example

```json
{
  "max_distance": 24.0,
  "tick_rate": 4,
  "min_speed_for_trail": 0.08,
  "auras": {
    "sparkle_aura": {
      "name": "Sparkle Aura",
      "icon": "minecraft:amethyst_shard",
      "particle": {
        "type": "minecraft:happy_villager",
        "count": 8,
        "speed": 0.02,
        "spread": 0.35,
        "size": 0.4,
        "color": "#7d7dff"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Good To Know

* lower `count` is better for performance
* use `interval_ticks` if one effect needs to run less often
