Posted April 12, 20187 yr I have an entity that tries to find a block, in this case wood, to mine and use for other purposes. I thought of checking every single block in a 5x5x5* area (above ground), but I quickly noticed it would slow my game to a snail's pace. How could I optimize my block-checking?

April 12, 20187 yr Something is very wrong with your code if a 5x5x5 region (125 blocks) takes that long to scan. It should take less than 400,000 nanos (0.4 ms) to scan 20,000 blocks (and do nothing). Show your code.

April 12, 20187 yr Author I think I may have done something completely wrong: @Override public boolean shouldExecute() { boolean output = false; BlockPos position = soldier.getPosition(); for (int i = position.getX() + 2; i > position.getX() - 2; i--) { for (int j = position.getZ() + 2; i > position.getZ() - 2; j--) { for (int k = position.getY() + 2; i > position.getY() - 2; k--) { BlockPos foundBlockPos = new BlockPos(i + position.getX(), k + position.getY(), j + position.getZ()); if (world.getBlockState(foundBlockPos).equals(stateToFind)) { output = true; soldier.wantsToGoTo = foundBlockPos; } } } } return output; } Edited April 12, 20187 yr by OBCLetter Hi!

April 12, 20187 yr you made a typo in your loop. when you cut and pasted you left the second limit as "i" in all the loops, when it should be "j" and "k". Check out my tutorials here: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/
April 12, 20187 yr Also: BlockPos.getAllInBox(...) is a thing.

You guys are life-savers. Hi! I'm a Java programmer but barely know anything Minecraft related.
