Particles with additional parameters don't show suggestions for the next arguments
The Bug:
Particles with additional parameters don't show suggestions for the next arguments.
While typing "/particle minecraft:dust", I'd expect there to be some kind of suggestion about what the next argument should be. Just like other particles and commands do, instead I get an error about an invalid double.
Affected Particles:
- /particle minecraft:block
- /particle minecraft:dust
- /particle minecraft:falling_dust
- /particle minecraft:item
- /particle minecraft:vibration
- /particle minecraft:block_marker
- /particle minecraft:dust_color_transition
- /particle minecraft:sculk_charge
- /particle minecraft:shriek
Steps to Reproduce:
- Type the following command in chat without entering it.
/particle minecraft:block
- Observe if suggestions are shown for next the arguments.
- Take note as to whether or not particles with additional parameters don't show suggestions for next the arguments.
Observed Behavior:
Suggestions for next the arguments aren't shown.
Expected Behavior:
Suggestions for next the arguments would be shown.

The bug
The parameter count of the /particle command changes depending on the used particle (see also MC-122181). While the command syntax help at least colors the additional parameters in the same color as the particle name, text editors and currently command blocks do not do that. This makes it rather hard to understand what the arguments mean unless you know all parameter a particle has by heart. Additionally it prevents leaving out a parameter to use a default value.
Something like the following might be better:
dust[r=1.0,g=1.0,b=1.0,size=1.0]
dust[color={r=1.0,g=1.0,b=1.0},size=1.0]
How to reproduce
Type the following
/particle dust
→ 
The next parameter is suddenly not the x-coordinate anymore but instead the r-color value
See MC-122181 for the report about that

Essentially duplicate of MC-122181. You just need to type the block name afterwards
Yeah there are extra arguments required, they don't autocomplete (MC-122181)

Affects 1.20.5-rc2.
The syntax changes in 1.20.5-pre1 have made a proper fix for this issue potentially more complicated. Simply allowing these additional parameters to default if not provided might be the best quick fix.
