Old thread I know, but thought I would share the behavior that caused this since it is very interesting. One problem I found in the code above is that in the CatLieOnCatnipGoal constructor, you have this line: this.verticalSearchStart = -2; While counter-intuitive and a bit obfuscated, the find nearest block uses this variable like so: for(int k = this.verticalSearchStart; k <= j; k = k > 0 ? -k : 1 - k) { This is a part of a series of for loops to search every block within the range. The line above will perform a search going away from a vertical start in a pseudo- absolute value fashion. Basically it alternates between going up then down. If the starting value is 0, the pattern is: START k=0 EVALUATE k= k > 0 ? -k : 1 - k (FALSE, so evaluate right side of ":") EVALUATE k=1-k (1-0) END k=1 (do stuff and loop again) EVALUATE k= k > 0 ? -k : 1 - k (TRUE, so evaluate left side of ":") EVALUATE k = -k (-1) END k=-1 (skipping ahead) k=2 k=-2 k=3 k=-3 By starting at -2, the search will never land on any blocks within 1 vertical block of your cats.
