[MC-1874] Breaking some blocks produces wrong particles

The bug

When breaking a mob head the particle effects that come off it are those of soul sand. Also when breaking a beacon block the particles that come off it is those of a diamond block. When throwing a splash potion the particles that come off it is those of a normal potion.

When breaking any of the following, particles also are displayed wrong, they don't display the particle of a block broken but instead of a different similar block:

~~chests~~ (WAI: MC-2614)
~~water~~
~~lava~~
standing_sign
wall_sign
standing_banner
wall_banner
~~piston [extended: true]~~
heads & skulls
brewing_stand [has_bottle: false]
enchanting_table
anvil [damage: >0]
flower_pot (no dirt particles, only show top particles)
tripwire_hook
sea pickle (not waterlogged)
~~top of double plants (breaking, not completely destroying (sword in creative)) (MC-29590)~~
cauldron (dark blue particles, obsidian?) MC-132734

For chest, trapped_chest, ender_chest, water, lava, standing_sign, wall_sign, standing_banner, wall_banner and skull the reason is that they use special renderer (this is also the reason for MC-64634)

Water and lava seem fixed in 1.9.3-pre2.

FaRo1 2016-06-12T18:50:36Z

Confirmed for 1.10 at least for chest, ender chest and brewing stand, for many I'm not sure, because I partially use the "faithful" texture pack and it's not easy to see. I have custom textures for enchanting table and that seems fixed (produces white particles for mostly white table), also anvil, that's just a bit darker, as the flower pot and probably the tripwire hook.

[Mod] redstonehelper 2016-06-13T13:15:55Z

Resource packs can fix this issue. Please only confirm this ticket if you don't have any resource packs activated.

FaRo1 2016-06-13T14:05:28Z

I don't say that it should fix or cause it, just make it better visible. The correct situation should be that the particle uses the texture of the block. But if the particle's texture is only slightly different, it's hard to see. If you paint the whole block in another colour with a ressource pack, it only makes the difference much more visible.

FaRo1 2016-06-22T21:33:13Z

Confirmed for 1.10.1 for chest, brewing stand, enchanting table and flower pot. Others are unclear from my tests. It's apparent that there isn't a general solution here either. I'll do a big test for everything again in 1.11.

null 2016-06-23T16:19:20Z

Confirmed for 1.10.2. For a rose bush, I used a sword to "hit" the top of it, and it produced sunflower particles, not peony.

bemoty 2017-08-10T17:54:56Z

Can confirm for MC 1.12.1.

Play Dash Number f800f8 000000 2018-05-23T03:41:15Z

Idea how to fix this:
A new folder named drops
It will have textures for particles of the stuff above.

FaRo1 2018-05-23T08:56:22Z

No, that would make it even worse, because they would have to add the texture manually for every block. I'm pretty sure that it currently directly uses the block's texture. I don't know why it still fails in so many cases.

Affects 1.13-pre7

Play Dash Number f800f8 000000 2018-07-18T07:19:44Z

No, the dark blue particles ARE NOT obsidian. Look at them and look at obsidian. They are different.

Play Dash Number f800f8 000000 2018-07-18T07:20:44Z

And as i said in a duplicate, the cauldron particles aren't much of a problem.

JimStoneCraft 2018-07-25T20:27:56Z

The Cauldron particle changed to blue when they fixed the "Water in cauldron isn't tinted" bug in 18w20b (https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/18w20b), this then broke the cauldron break particle, you notice it a lot more when using a resource pack.

This means the cauldron break particle is using the water tint colour.

MC-128253 – Water in cauldron isn't tinted.

I'm pretty sure MC-2614 is not actually WAI, but rather "won't fix" or even just "won't fix for now", meaning "postponed". Back then that resolution was misused a lot for those cases.
