ListVectorFieldPlot3D

ListVectorFieldPlot3D[{{pt₁, vec₁}, {pt₂, vec₂}, ...}]
generates a three-dimensional plot of the list of vectors vec₁, vec₂, ..., with each vector based at a corresponding point pt₁, pt₂, ....

MORE INFORMATION

To use ListVectorFieldPlot3D, you first need to load the Vector Field Plotting Package using Needs["VectorFieldPlots`"].

Each point pt_i is a coordinate vector {x_i, y_i, z_i} in a Cartesian coordinate system.

ListVectorFieldPlot3D has the same options as Graphics3D with the following additions and changes:

ScaleFactor	Automatic	the scale of the vectors to the mesh; Max ensures that the largest vector fits in the mesh
ScaleFunction	None	function to rescale the lengths of vectors
MaxArrowLength	None	determines the largest vector to be drawn
ColorFunction	None	colors to use
VectorHeads	False	whether to draw vectors with heads
