[1.15.2] How do I extend the attack reach of a player?

Posted March 19, 20205 yr

I've asked around a bunch on the discords and have gotten a lot of mixed answers. So, I'm wondering what would be the best way to extend the attack reach of a player? I've tried extending the reach attribute, but it seems to only affect blocks.

AFAIK there is no default way to increase the reach range for entity.

You will have to do your own recasting on the client side (basically simulate what vanilla Minecraft does).

Some tips:

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TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.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.

Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it.

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.

Ah, that's unfortunate. How would I go about doing that (honestly, ray casting in general)? When I'm looking at the vanilla code, a method that I'm finding for that gets its information from the CUseEntityPacket parameter.

Hope it help: You can use world.isRemote or @EventBusSubscriber(MODID, bus = EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) or @Side(Dist.CLIENT). Hope it will help you.

Why not use coremods?

Because it is not necessary in this case.

You can make an invisible entity that deals damage if it hits an enemy within a certain range.

I think i have a better idea now: @Nozzomi, idk and not seed the vanilla method, but you can try to use a event (if the player for example use its hand) and if the RayTracing uses vectors, then add a scalar to this vector. If you dk what vectors are (and if the VanillaRaytracing uses and/or return a vector) then here is a page: https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/vectors-dot-product.html

exit code 1

I'm having problems loading some mods, once it launches it crashes and says exit code. This doesn't happen on an older mod and I've tried a couple things to fix this however, nothing seems to fix. Any advice?

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Hiho,

first of all I want to say that the new forum design looks really good.

However, there are currently two issues:

In the "Unread" section, the "Mark all as Read" feature seems to be missing - or am I just overlooking it somewhere?
Some threads don’t automatically get marked as read when you open them. So the post still shows up in "Unread," even though you’ve already viewed it.
Example Thread: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/159415-cannot-find-client-log-entries/

Then I have a smaller suggestion, referring to the Text Editor:

It is possible to move out the "Inline Code"-Feature from the "More Formatting Options" and add it directly to the Text Editor Tool Bar?
Same for "Quote"-Feature inside the Create Section

These two features are used quite often (at least by me) - as far as I remember, they were also available in the old forum design.
