Hey everybody, it’s UnderMyCat, and today I’m going to show you how to make an in-game snow machine. This is really simple; it’s in Java Edition, and it only uses one command, which is really cool. So, without further ado, let’s get straight into this! You can use this in your Minecraft world to make it a bit more Christmas-themed or just to add a snow effect. Basically, all it is is a snow particle effect. As you can see, if I remove this block from this area here, there is nothing emitting; it’s just a little bit of snow. If I go down here, I actually have a command block. If you don’t know how to get a command block or how to use it, I have a video where I explain everything about how to get a command block and how to use it, so I’ll leave that in the description for you to check out. Once you get the command block, we can proceed with the command. I’m going to go somewhere a bit different, so let’s go here and get straight into this. In the new 1.17 and 1.18 updates, they added a particle called “snow.” If I type the command for particles and then “snowflake,” you can see it’s available. By the way, I’ve included the basic particle command in the description below. We use the command like this: `particle snowflake ~ ~1 ~ 0 0 0 1 10`. You can see that we have some snow particle effects! Oh my gosh, maybe not like that, but you can see that we’ve got some snow particle effects. As you can see, I’ve set the speed to 1. Do not do this; that’s too fast! Instead, put a 0 and a point in front of it, so you’d get 0.1, and that should slow the particle effect down. Now you can see we’ve got a nice, slower particle effect. You’re probably wondering how to get it like the one over there. It’s pretty simple. The squiggly lines here show you where the particle will be offset from the block. As you can see, this is the block here. If I set an offset of 1 for the middle squiggly line, the particle will show up 1 block above it. The particle effect is displaying above the command block, and if we do 1 across, you’ll see that it moves 1 particle across as well. That being said, let’s say we wanted to add something to make it look like it was producing snow, such as the dispenser I showed before. We want to get one; I have one here. Just place it a few blocks above the command block so it’s not obvious there’s a command there. I’m going to put mine right there, and then set this up here. You can see it’s not right there, so we need to offset it by about 3 blocks because we moved up that perfect amount. As you can see, I have to keep flying around because of the ocean; that kind of sucks. But you can see that it’s in front of the thing, but it’s not actually touching the block, which is kind of annoying. We’re going to move it back a bit, maybe to 0.5; actually, I think 0.5 is perfect. Now we’ve got our little snow-producing machine, and it looks pretty cool! What I did over here was just add a bunch of snow to make it look a bit snowy, and while that looks kind of bad, you can see over there that it looks pretty cool. The really neat thing about this is that if you want it to snow kind of everywhere, you can actually use these circles and amplify the area. If I set it to, let’s say, 10, 10, and 1 for the height, you’ll see that it’ll create little snow particles in a 10 by 10 by 1 radius. As you can see, it looks really cool! If you don’t like those particles going in different directions, you can simply change the speed to 0, and the snow particles will just fall down like actual snow, which is really cool.

I know this particle command was for Java Edition, but explaining it for Bedrock is quite challenging because it’s limited in what you can do.
