EntityPlayer#isAirBorne always as false?

[Insane96MCP]

I'm trying to check when the player is jumping, but there's no field isJumping and the isAirBorne seems to not work properly as it is always false.

Oh, didn't see it. Thank you.

But still isAirborne is not used?

Yes, it is used. However it is badly named. It has nothing to do with being airborne. It is set to true whenever an entity's position is set or changed and it's never set to false afterwards. So it would be better named hasValidPosition. It is used to check whether an entity's position should be sent to the client.

Why does minecraft have a lot of misleading method names btw?

Mojang obfuscates the Minecraft code as part of the build process, so everything has a name like a or cc. These names change with each Minecraft version.

 

The MCP team is responsible for mapping these so-called Notch names to SRG names like func_0001_a or field_0002_b that remain stable between Minecraft versions. The MCP team and the community then map these SRG names to deobfuscated MCP names like doFoo or bar.

 

It can be very difficult to understand what code is doing when nothing has a proper name and functionality can change between versions, so sometimes methods, fields and parameters end up with misleading names.

 

If you have a better name for a method, field or parameter, you can open an issue on the MCPBot issue tracker.

So what you are saying that Mojang doesn't give these names in the original source code so forge kinda give it names so we could use them to make our coding easier? Why do they obfuscate tho? To portect it's code from script kiddies who will just copy paste them and build their own pirated versions of minecraft?

This and probably legal reasons.

Interesting.

Yes, there is. It is protected however, so you'll need reflection.

Still isJumping is always false. When should EntityPlayerMP#isJumping be true?

Preventing the player from placing blocks when jumping

[Sunser]

Maybe it could be possible to override the jump method to make this ?
