World [67 Supporters | ~86% Agrees! ] Mage Teleport Location Should Be Calculated Through 1.13 Ray-casting

Just as a FYI, raycasting has existed way before 1.13. I believe it existed as old as 1.8 (armorstand raycasting), although it wasnt usually as accurate as 1.13’s raycasting using the relative directions since there needed to be a set of command blocks for each direction. By 1.9 it already became much more efficient too, since there were the 3 types of command blocks added.

 

Nah because people have already voted it so then it would be counted as +0.5 support even if the person who chose that option didn't intend it to.

 

Great idea, I mostly play mage so
I GET STUCK A LOT
Thanks, random holes. Thanks, COTL trees.

Also that art is magnificent

 

Ok then

thank you

 

BUMP! This suggestion is nearing 70 supporters!

 

So it is something like this, which existed for a long time. I believe the developers are actually using this code to simplify stuff.

Spoiler: Hmmmmmmmm

This is the code for ray-casting FYI: (haven't checked, might be wrong, don't kill me)

Code:

private Location getTargetBlock(LivingEntity entity, double range){
    Location eLoc = entity.getEyeLocation();
    Vector dir = eLoc.getDirection();

    return eLoc.addVector(dir.multiply(range).normalize());
}
