The bug
Potion effects with Ambient:0b and ShowParticles:0b cause other potion effects with Ambient:1b to be opaque. Hidden effects should have their Ambient property, like their color, disregarded for the purposes of rendering particles from other effects.
To reproduce
Survival
Build a beacon and activate any effect
Equip a turtle shell
→ ❌ The beacon effect particles will no longer be ambient
Commands
Make a beacon and set it to Haste I
The particles will be Ambient as is intended
Run:
/effect give @p resistance 100 0 trueThe Resistance particles will be hidden as per normal, but now the Haste particles will be opaque
Run:
/effect clear @p resistanceThe Haste particles will be Ambient again

Can confirm for 20w10a but the beacon effect particles are very transparent, but with the shell on they are solid.

Still a thing in 1.16.2... it's the only reason i don't wear a turtle shell...
Cannot reproduce.
Make sure you don't have some extra potion effect not caused by the beacon by running :
Even if in this report, it's unclear if the opaque particle are from the beacon or a potion effect ; on my side, particles from the beacon potion effects, or from potion with an Ambient tag are transparent. Can you provide a screenshot of the opaque particle, and the effects used in the beacon. And in the case you used a command, can you provide the EXACT command you used.
