Particle Text

ParticleText v2.0.0

Particle Text v2.0.0 is a complete modernization of the plugin for current Paper servers. It introduces a rebuilt rendering pipeline, persistent renderer management, richer customization, and a cleaner administration experience.

Highlights

• Rebuilt with Java 25.
• Render persistent text with configurable particles, fonts, scale, inversion, enabled state, position, and three-axis rotation.
• Create and manage renderers through commands or the interactive inventory menu.
• Resolve PlaceholderAPI values inside renderer text and use the native particletext expansion.

Performance and reliability

• Cache bounded text point clouds and rebuild them only when renderer content changes.
• Filter viewers by distance and limit particle density with configurable sampling and point caps.
• Coordinate rendering through a single shared scheduler.
• Persist renderer definitions in a human-readable renderers.yml file.

Configuration and integrations

• Use Adventure MiniMessage and hex colors throughout configurable messages.
• Reload cached settings, messages, renderer data, and render tasks with /pt reload.
• Includes bStats metrics, asynchronous update checks, and compatibility with popular world-management plugins.

Upgrade note

This is a major rewrite targeting Java 25. Back up the existing ParticleText plugin directory and review the included configuration files before upgrading.
