I actually want to give myself a soul particle aura using command blocks, and i don’t know if it matters, but I play on MC Nintendo Switch 1.19
Any help with the command would be great.

if you want to get a command for 1.14~1.16, you can use this command: /exeute at @a run particle minecraft:<particlename> ~ ~0.1 ~ 0.3 0 0.3 0 15 repeating command block

Can you make the particles stay and not go away?

change the type of command block to repeat and then change the activation of it from redstone to always active and it wont stop until you make its "redstone powered" or you break the command block

I usually use my username but I wanted it to be a bit simpler for others.
in step three I said you can change @a to your username.
