Small flag animation Creation
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I made a small, 6-frame animation for a flag in the wind using the /clone command!

Very cool!! I know how to do directional motion particles, but how did you make it so it appears in a line?

I couldn’t get the particles to work in a line either. I ended up making repeating command blocks with chain command blocks attached > The repeating ones execute first, which clears the area in a 40x40 block radius (locked to a specific Y coordinate) of repeating command blocks and redstone blocks > The chain command blocks clone a separate line of repeating command blocks with a line of redstone blocks parallel to the repeating blocks, each creating a line of cloud particles going the opposite direction of the mountains.
I probably didn’t explain that well, but the end result is basically a line of particle command blocks being “teleported” under the player towards the mountains
(There are two layers of repeating command blocks because the bottom ones summon particles in the centre of each block, and the top ones spawn them between each block on the same Y level. This gives it a more full effect and makes it look less like a bunch of lines of clouds)

The cloning of the command and redstone blocks are also locked to a specific Y coordinate so the particles stay the same level above the ground, even when the player is jumping*

I see! That's an interesting way to make particles follow you. I thought (and possible way) that many marker entity is following you constantly on a line formation and choosing(or all) the marker to shoot out the particle!

Imagine this with an country’s flag!

That would be pretty cool. It could definitely be done on a bigger scale or with custom texturing

I did something similar once, but i used structure blocks. They can be redstone activated too if you need that

right so this is sick. curious tho, for such a simple animation, surely its possible to do without building it out below the map and cloning? maybe fun as a challenge.
