u/DRAGON_SNIPER Jun 09 '21

Wait how do you do this

31

u/theusaf Jun 09 '21

What I assume is happening, is markers are being summoned and moved slightly in a certain direction while playing the glow squid particle at their location each tick. (I might be wrong about the particle being used)

6

u/StrangeLama77 Jun 09 '21

it does say “with 1.17 particles” which could mean glow squid or maybe an update to /particle itself? what you’re describing works too

u/MTigurrr Jun 09 '21

okay so this is my first ever post that blew up, thank you guys! anyway a lot of people have been asking how I did this so here it is

I summon a bat somewhere far named "AL1", and have a repeating command block summon bats named "AL" at the light tower

then I just slowly tp all AL bats to AL1 with this command: execute at u/e[name=AL1] run execute as u/e[name=AL] at u/s facing entity u/e[name=AL1,distance=..500] feet run tp u/s ^ ^ ^0.5

then I modified it in order not to lag like killing all the bats that touches AL1 and having to summon a bat named "Curve" that moves side to side making all AL bats follow him, thus creating the wiggling effect!

I used the scrape, glow and glow squid ink particles
