[1.9] Increasing player attack distance

[Notunknown]

I am working on increasing the attack/block break distance for players.

 

I have using PlayerInteractionManager#setBlockReachDistance set it on the server to 100.0D and replaced PlayerControllerMP on the client to increase it to 100.0F there (Why is server double and client float?) and can now correctly interact 100 blocks away. But I cannot attack monsters 100 blocks away. I cannot attack them, nor interact with anything behind them.

 

What am I missing?

as far as I know you cannot extend the players attack range with existing methods. You have to write your own left click handler.

Try having a look at this:

Well then, I wish I had seen that before digging through minecraft code to figure that out. I came to almost the exact same implementation. Would have saved me so much time.
