Laser beam

[stoic sedge]

I want to make a laser beam on right click for my modded swords and staffs, but I don’t know the best way.

You need to provide more detail. There is no "best" way to make a laser. Particles? Models? Shaders? All of the above?

[stoic sedge]

I don't know the easiest way

A more precise description of the laser and its purpose would be helpful, as the easiest/best way will vary.

For example, I recently posted in this channel about a very similar thing. No answer yet though.

Doesn't neccesarily need that much detail. but the more people know about what you want to achieve the better they can help

Ok, I want the laser to fire from the players current position to where they are looking, and it must do damage.

That is helpful but how do you actually want the laser to look?

Since that’s the main thing being referenced.

well, i want it to look like if the dragon healing beam from end crystals was solid instead of shattered

Try checking vanilla src and I can take a look at it later

The method that renders the beam in vanilla is EnderDragonEntityRenderer.renderCrystalBeam
