Posted April 24, 20196 yr I am creating a "wireless power generator" that automatically sends power to my machines in a 35*35*35 area. However, if I iterate through the 35*35*35 area every tick to find all nearby machines, that would probably result in performance issues. Therefore, I was wondering if it is possible to create a custom entity whenever one of my machines is placed, and use World#getEntitiesInAABB to get all nearby machines to send power to. Is this possible? If yes, what are the drawbacks (if any) of this method? Some tips: Spoiler Modder Support: Spoiler 1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code. 2. Always post your code. 3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that. 4. Quote Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere 5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger. 6. Quote The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it. Support & Bug Reports: Spoiler 1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s). 2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.
April 24, 20196 yr Using a PooledMutableBlockPos and scanning 35x35x35 isn’t too expensive, but a better way would be to iterate Chunk#loadedTileEntityList About Me Spoiler My Discord - Cadiboo#8887 My Website - Cadiboo.github.io My Mods - Cadiboo.github.io/projects My Tutorials - Cadiboo.github.io/tutorials Versions below 1.14.4 are no longer supported on this forum.
