Game curiosity

DISCLAIMER
I would like to ask two questions, the intension is not to seek any particular outcome other than knowledge why something was done the way it was

Question 1:
Why does Ice snake behaves in a way it does?
When you cast ice snake it has a [point of cast] after you cast a spell the spell goes in 1 direction, when you have a tallent {Sentient Snake} YOU become the point of cast. I've attacked a photo where FIG 1,2 is the cast without the tallent, FIG 3-4 with.
If you turn 180 degrees, the snake will appear on your screen and not be conected to the last segment (like a snake should), to see how it would look like here is the time code:(1:54:07)

Question 2:
In the quest "Bob's Lost Soul"

Stage 7 - collect depressing weapons.
The lynx cave... WHY? why the f*ck are there so many lynxes and why do they respawn so frequently?
I have so much lag and the speed of their respawn doesn't allow me to get near without risking dying.
The only things that are running are minecraft, OBS, clownfish and browser from wiki
My minecraft settings are the following:

 

1. I think Ice Snake with Sentient Snake and Snake Nest works something like this.
Imagine a growing circle around the player that grows for an 18-block radius and then it terminates within t seconds.
Three snakes hitboxes and their visuals will spawn at the tangent line of that growing circle which is perpendicular to the player's direction every dt seconds.
(I don't know the exact spawn rate)


2. Don't play on Vanilla Minecraft, use optimization mods like Sodium. I promise you that you'll have a smoother and better experience.
And please don't say that you have a potato PC and can't run mods, that is not a valid excuse.

Or you can try to reduce some particles '/particles low' may help a little bit with the lag.

Or alternatively, you can try '/class' to temporarily despawn the mobs around you if there are too many.

 

For the first question, I’ll let you guys nerd out on that one because I don’t understand. For the second question, I myself experienced it where there were too few lynx’s spawning. Maybe someone placed a mob totem near you as I don’t remember there being many lynx’s in that cave. I also agree with Poomy, it is most likely particles effecting your gaming experience.

 

So... first of all, how did you made animated diagram... (I would love to know)
it probably is exactly as you described but why can i do 180and have a snake on my screen? shouldn't the snake be limted to (screensize of cast), in the video you can see when I turn arround, I get segments appearing out of thin air and not having any connection to me... "hmm, I guess the point Im trying to make is that the snake behaves like a worm (chop it up and it will still work), as appose to snake and reccursion"

 

I used Desmos to draw the shapes and then record them with OBS, and then turn them into gifs.

Yes, you are correct. The ice snake won't connect to you because every cast only increases the radius, the more time after casting, the further the snakes spawn from you. I can make another visual to demonstrate. This is what it should look like when you suddenly turn 180 degrees while the spell is still active. Blue translucent dots represent all the summoned snakes.

It looks like snakes appearing out of thin air because the summon radius of the snakes is further away now that the spell has been active for a while.

 

This is me in a cave for a few minutes, no totems... do you see how many are there XD
Here is a video when I enter to show that no totem was placed:
Entered{1:25:00}
Left{1:27:00}

 

Yeah that's mildly going to lag the game, please try out optimization mods, I promise it will make your game 81938764% smoother
