Hello,

So I'm trying to spawn in a particle, and eventually, place a block at certain chunk coords, however, I am unable to figure out how I'd actually go about finding the middle of any given chunk. Currently, I have the block coords of the chunk via:

        int x = (pos.x)*16;
        int z = (pos.z)*16;
        int y = world.getHeight(x,z) + 5;

which places these coords at the chunk's corner boundary. How would I modify what I have to give me the middle of that chunk? (upon the X,Z axis)

 

Thanks.

Dont multiply use the bit shift operation instead.

 

After doing so add 8.5 to get the middle.

Oh, I forget that using arithmetic operators is bad when handling chunks.

I thought this originally but didn't think it would work when given negative coords (as in, I thought that it would shift the other direction from where the middle would be), but I guess not. 

 

for those who are wondering, here is the simple code for this:

        double x = ((pos.x) << 4) + 8.5;
        double z = ((pos.z) << 4) + 8.5;

 

Thanks for your help.
