-- falling_speed <number>: The downwards speed
+Furthermore, the following default values have been changed:
-- min_pos <number>: Bottom-left corner of spawn position (automatically adjusted by wind)
+- time <int> [0.5] (reduced time results in smoother position updates, but more lag)
-- max_pos <number>: Top-right corner of spawn position (automatically adjusted by wind)

+- collision_removal <bool> [true]
-- exptime <number>: Time of life of particles
+- playername <string> [current player] (Set to empty string to show for everyone)
-- time <number> (optional): The time of life of particle spawners (defaults to 0.5)
+
-- EITHER size <number>: Size of the particles
+The following optional values have been introduced or expanded for convenience:
-- OR min_size <number> and max_size <number>: Minimum and maximum size
+- size <int> [nil] (Overrides both minsize and maxsize if set)
-- vertical <bool> (optional): Whether particles should rotate in 2D space only (default depends on falling vector)

+- boxsize <number> [nil] (If set to a number, the resulting vector will have the specified size in all directions)
+- v_offset <int> [0] (Use in conjunctin with boxsize. Adds specified height to minpos and maxpos y-coordinates)
