Determining the distance to the nearest town

Posted September 16, 20205 yr

When spawning a mob, I'd like to determine the distance to the nearest town. Any idea how that can be accomplished?

Thanks

I'm not sure but try to check ServerWorld#findNearestStructure.

You could do the same thing that the /locate command does for you ingame. I took a look at the command implementation and i see that it calls the function ServerWorld#func_241117_a_, which is what actually returns a BlockPos representing the position of the nearest structure of the specified type. I believe this function is gonna be remapped to getStructureLocation..i don't know your mappings version but you can try both and see which one you have. After you get the position of the structure, finding how far is from the mob you spawned is trivial

Check out the port of the BetterEnd fabric mod (WIP): https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/betterend-forge-port

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.

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

That fixed it! it's still being weird and not actually printing anything to CMD but the logs look fine and eventually the gui generated looking normal. Thanks for your help I've done that on linux before but windows servers have always just worked with one click for some reason for me

Make sure you are using Java 17 JDK

In the start script, replace the word "java" with the java 17 path (javaw.exe) and put it into quotation marks
