Examples

"entity_action": {
    "type": "toomanyorigins:spawn_particles",
    "particle": {
        "type": "minecraft:entity_effect"
    },
    "count": 1,
    "spread": {
        "x": 0.5,
        "y": 1.0,
        "z": 0.5
    },
    "velocity": {
        "x": 0.207843137,
        "y": 0.16470588235,
        "z": 0.15294117647
    }
}
This example will spawn a particle cuboid that is about 1x2x1 in size that will use the entity effect texture with a velocity that changes its color to be that of the Wither effect (53/255, 42/255, 39/255). Note that some effects such as this one use the velocity field as a color field, whereas others don't.
