Where are the people in the forum? No one? Seruiosuly?

why are you using 1.8? thats not supported anymore,

use 1.12.2

if you really want 1.8 use the newest 1.8.9

 

and look up

Pythagorean theorem

Sorry, I have just upgraded to 1.12  But I don't know how to mainipulate the Pythagorean theorem

It looks like you want the shortest distance between the player, and this entity, yes?
Call Entity::getDistanceToEntity, to find the distance between two entities.

                           STATEMENTS                             |                                                                 REASONS                       

1. Distance from player to entity is diagonal           |  1. Diagonal is a line segment that extends from one angle of the                                                                                                          |  quadrilateral to its opposite angle                                        

                                                                                |

                                                                                |

How do you want the distance demonstrated by diagonal? Are the entities on opposite angles of a quadrilateral?

Please clarify.

And P.S. don't use 1.8, update to 1.10.2 + please, believe me, it's way more worth it.

It's literally taking the square root of two squares. It's a formula, you plug numbers in and get numbers out. There's nothing to manipulate.
