How would one implement this idea?

[rose steeple]

I want to make a mod where the block that gets broken by the player is the block the crosshairs x axis perpendicular to the left. I suck at explaining so let me just demonstrate it instead.

suppose a player is in the middle of a 3x3 cube facing north. The players crosshair is on the block infront of him. when the player digs the block, nothing happens to that block, but the block to the players west gets broken instead.

if u still dont get it I can draw it for you haha, I just really want to implement this mod for a task in my mind.

[chrome flare]

just... face player little west and not to the server/client systems only renderer?

[rose steeple]

?

[chrome flare]

i mean rotate the view player seeing

[rose steeple]

I dont want that

[chrome flare]

but don't rotate actual player

why?

you just want to move its crosshair ON THE SCREEN not rotating it?

[rose steeple]

no, I just want to break a block without actually looking at that block in all simplicity.,..

[chrome flare]

i think they want to just move crosshair

[rose steeple]

but the block in question is simple the block perpendicular to the actual targetted block

[chrome flare]

is that all?

[rose steeple]

No, the crosshair should be on first block

[rose steeple]

yes

[chrome flare]

why not use freecam mods?

some freecam mods allows breaking block

[rose steeple]

it works?

[chrome flare]

if server allows you to do

moving crosshair won't work if method i mentioned wont work

[rose steeple]

can someone test it with me?

and idk what freecam to use then

what if the server doesnt allow breaking blocks in freecam

Sounds like !!cheats

Oops

!!cheats

We do not support hacked clients, cheats, or modifications that are intended to give you the upper hand in a server, competitive or otherwise.
See rule 1 in #welcome and the Discord TOS: https://discordapp.com/terms

[rose steeple]

It

s not a cheat actually, just a genious strat for a server

but I wont get more into it

unless u wanna join me haha

hacked clients are they just mods?

[small matrix]

A genious strat that can't be done in vanilla and needs a mod is kinda like a cheat, no?

[small matrix]

Pretty much

[rose steeple]

I want to write a hacked client then I guess. I wont ask more about it here since I know you cant talk about it here, but jump into my dms cause this idea could actually be rlly cool

[chrome flare]

u dont have to

already theres plenty of them

supporting freecam

freelook

or both

[rose steeple]

I can show u guys what my idea is on the specific server if u want

[chrome flare]

https://modrinth.com/mod/freecam i think if you enable some config in this mod

fixed angle freelook?

but it will be easy to implement

yes i read

why not? just turn on freecam and break block

[rose steeple]

the goal is that I will be walking sideways and have the mod break the block to that side without actually looking at it

[chrome flare]

oh

[rose steeple]

and the pickaxe clears a huge space, so I can just look at the same spot all the time

[chrome flare]

i recommend you just modifying existing freelook mod

and lock its pitch/yaw

OR i think there is already pitch/yaw locker?

[rose steeple]

Ill try it i guess

[rose steeple]

@summer lance How to walk sideways?

I cant figure out how to make a mod that makes me walk to the right

[small matrix]

Set the right keybind to be pressed

[rose steeple]

whats the code for it?

this was my approach

but didnt work:

[small matrix]

It's like, client.gameOptions.right or something

[rose steeple]

package bear.modid;

import net.fabricmc.api.ClientModInitializer;
import net.fabricmc.fabric.api.client.event.lifecycle.v1.ClientTickEvents;
import net.fabricmc.fabric.api.client.keybinding.v1.KeyBindingHelper;
import net.minecraft.client.option.KeyBinding;
import net.minecraft.client.MinecraftClient;
import net.minecraft.client.util.InputUtil;
import org.lwjgl.glfw.GLFW;

public class Mod2 implements ClientModInitializer {

    // Toggle state for auto-move right
    private static boolean autoRightEnabled = false;
    // Key binding instance for the right arrow key
    private static KeyBinding toggleKey;

    @Override
    public void onInitializeClient() {
        // Register a key binding to toggle the auto-move-right mode.
        toggleKey = KeyBindingHelper.registerKeyBinding(new KeyBinding(
                "key.autoright.toggle",                // The translation key of the keybinding's name
                InputUtil.Type.KEYSYM,                 // The type of the keybinding, in this case a keyboard key
                GLFW.GLFW_KEY_RIGHT,                   // The default key code (right arrow)
                "category.autoright"                   // The translation key of the keybinding's category
        ));

        // Register a client tick event to update the player's movement input.
        ClientTickEvents.END_CLIENT_TICK.register(client -> {
            // Toggle the mode when the key is pressed
            while (toggleKey.wasPressed()) {
                autoRightEnabled = !autoRightEnabled;
            }
            // If the mode is enabled and the player exists, force moving to the right.
            if (autoRightEnabled && client.player != null) {
                // This sets the player's lateral movement input to simulate holding the "move right" key.
                client.player.input.movementSideways = 1.0F;
            }
        });
    }
}

Can you add java right after the first 3 `

[rose steeple]

there

[small matrix]

Ty I can't read without syntax highlighting

[rose steeple]

I find it so confusing, I can never find out what the class names are for the minecraft features like walking, digging etc

[small matrix]

You can set MinecraftClient.getInstance().options.rightKey to be pressed with setPressed(bool)

[small matrix]

You could go off of game options

Check the relevant options' usages and you're bound to find what you're looking for, if it has an option

[rose steeple]

like this?

[small matrix]

That will give you the KeyBinding class

Which has a setPressed method

[rose steeple]

how do I just make it go right?

ohh

MinecraftClient.getInstance().options.rightKey.setPressed(true);

like that?

@small matrix

[small matrix]

Yeah

[rose steeple]

but it still doesnt work

[small matrix]

If you press rightKey afterwards it'll be cancelled out

[rose steeple]

when I press right arrow key in game, nothing happens...

[small matrix]

What's your code right now?

[rose steeple]

package bear.modid;

import net.fabricmc.api.ClientModInitializer;
import net.fabricmc.fabric.api.client.event.lifecycle.v1.ClientTickEvents;
import net.fabricmc.fabric.api.client.keybinding.v1.KeyBindingHelper;
import net.minecraft.client.option.KeyBinding;
import net.minecraft.client.MinecraftClient;
import net.minecraft.client.util.InputUtil;
import org.lwjgl.glfw.GLFW;

public class Mod2 implements ClientModInitializer {

    // Toggle state for auto-move right
    private static boolean autoRightEnabled = false;
    // Key binding instance for the right arrow key
    private static KeyBinding toggleKey;

    @Override
    public void onInitializeClient() {
        // Register a key binding to toggle the auto-move-right mode.
        toggleKey = KeyBindingHelper.registerKeyBinding(new KeyBinding(
                "key.autoright.toggle",                // The translation key of the keybinding's name
                InputUtil.Type.KEYSYM,                 // The type of the keybinding, in this case a keyboard key
                GLFW.GLFW_KEY_RIGHT,                   // The default key code (right arrow)
                "category.autoright"                   // The translation key of the keybinding's category
        ));

        // Register a client tick event to update the player's movement input.
        ClientTickEvents.END_CLIENT_TICK.register(client -> {
            // Toggle the mode when the key is pressed
            while (toggleKey.wasPressed()) {
                autoRightEnabled = !autoRightEnabled;
            }
            // If the mode is enabled and the player exists, force moving to the right.
            if (autoRightEnabled && client.player != null) {
                // This sets the player's lateral movement input to simulate holding the "move right" key.
                MinecraftClient.getInstance().options.rightKey.setPressed(true);
            }
        });
    }
}
```'

[small matrix]

while (toggleKey.wasPressed()) will keep firing while the key is held down

So if you hold for more than 1 tick it'll keep turning on and off with each tick

Perhaps you're landing on the off ticks after releasing?

[rose steeple]

how to just make it like a switch

so I dont have to time it everytime to be on

also I tried pressing like 100 times, still nothing happens

[small matrix]

Hmm

[rose steeple]

OHH

I know

[small matrix]

Are you sure the code is being reached

[rose steeple]

options.rightKey this is just the rightarrow key right? its not my "d" key...

cause I use wasd afterall

[small matrix]

options.rightKey is supposed to be your d key

[rose steeple]

so I should not change it?

or like is rightKey = d?

[small matrix]

It doesn't matter if you change the key it's bound to

It'll still be represented by the rightKey variable

Did you perhaps bind both right movement and your custom toggle keybinding to GLFW_KEY_RIGHT

[rose steeple]

huh okasy

doesnt work tho ;-;

[rose steeple]

nope

my toggle key is right arrow key

not d

[small matrix]

I was wondering if it could be a conflict with another keybinding that uses right arrow

[rose steeple]

its not

[small matrix]

Ok, lemme try it

[rose steeple]

nvm!

its working now

[small matrix]

Huh

[rose steeple]

but when I press the button again, it wont stop

[small matrix]

Because you're only setting it to be pressed

[rose steeple]

yeah, I changed it in game to "k" for some reason haha

[rose steeple]

ill try to solve it

[small matrix]

You need another method call to setPressed(false)

client.options.rightKey.setPressed(autoRightEnabled); should be a better solution

You can also remove autoRightEnabled from the if statement right above

[rose steeple]

smart

but doesnt work

[small matrix]

Did you also do this

[rose steeple]

nope, now Ill try

YAYY tyy
