title: Droplet Options
---

Droplet Options are a JSON object that are used in [Splash Types](splash_types) and [Fluid Definitions](fluid_definitions)
for customizing the droplet particles of fluids.

| Name            | Required | Description |
|-----------------|-----|------------------|
| `color`         | Yes | A [Color Provider]($color_providers) used to determine a particle's color |
| `tinting`       | No  | An object containing either a float from 0 to 1 defined as `"intensity"`, which will change the strength that the `color` is applied to the particle, or a boolean defined as `"use_config"`, which will use the value of the `Entities > Splashes > Splash Overlay Tint` config |
| `ripple`        | No  | A [Ripple Options](#ripple-options) object |
| `land_particle` | No  | String ID of a simple particle (particle with no parameters) that will be spawned when a droplet lands on the ground |

## Ripple Options

Ripple Options are a JSON object used for customizing the ripple particle spawned by a droplet landing in a fluid

| Name           | Required | Description |
|----------------|-----|------------------|
| `color`        | Yes | A [Color Provider]($color_providers) used to determine a particle's color |
| `tinting`      | No  | An object containing either a float from 0 to 1 defined as `"intensity"`, which will change the strength that the `color` is applied to the particle, or a boolean defined as "use_config", which will use the value of the `Entities > Splashes > Splash Overlay Tint` config |
| `transparency` | No  | An object containing either a float from 0 to 1 defined as `"alpha"`, or a boolean defined as `"use_config"`, which will use the value of the `Entities > Splashes > Splash Overlay Alpha` config |
