Getting the accurate player position as double not int

[Smoothley]

Hello! I just recently began the development of client side forge mods and just learning the api. I've checked the docs but not sure if I found anything...

Is there any way to get a more precise coordinate of the player in terms of decimal places instead of the default integer value? The getting of xyz coordinates from the method that I currently use only returns int values, is there anyway to get it more accurate to more decimal places? Thanks in Advance!

 

Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer.getPosition()

Is what I currently use for getting the player's position.

you can use that it returns a double:

		PlayerEntity playerEntity = Minecraft.getInstance().player;
		playerEntity.getPosX();
		playerEntity.getPosY();
		playerEntity.getPosZ();

PlayerEntity

Um, not sure why, but PlayerEntity is not a valid class for whatever api I used, maybe I did something wrong in the mods setup? I'm using IntelliJ, and have ran the "genIntellijRuns" and "setupDecompWorkspace", is there anything that I'm missing?

 

As you can see, this the types are int if I use EntityPlayer instead of PlayerEntity:

ah you use an api. (I probably overlooked it) then it could be that there is no other method and this is the only way to get the player position

but i'm not sure because i have never worked with an api before

Is it possible for me to know which dependency do you use?

do you mean this:

dependencies {
    minecraft 'net.minecraftforge:forge:1.16.5-36.0.1'
}

if not i use the normal mdk from forge (1.16.5):

Oh, I think that's the reason, cuz I'm using 1.8.9 and ur's is the newest version...

Does anyone know a method for returning a double in the 1.8.9 forge api?
