Anchored eyes bug? (1.21.11)

[violet sundial]

Hi fellow datapackers.
While working on a simple raycast code, I experienced a weird thing with the good old anchored eyes.

at @s anchored eyes seems not to move the command execution position to the player 'eyes' without a positioner using local coordinates. (^ ^ ^)

Just try running:
/execute at @s anchored eyes run particle minecraft:block_marker{block_state:"barrier"} ^ ^ ^
/execute at @s anchored eyes run particle minecraft:block_marker{block_state:"barrier"} ~ ~ ~

You'll see only the first one will actually show the particle in the eyes position, the other will just use the player position origin (aka 'feet')

Is this intended behaviour?

[hardy gust]

it is

anchored doesn't change the position

only the anchor

which you can target with ^ ^ ^

well makes sense

I can't see how I've never stumbled upon this in my whole time as datapacker.

thanks for the answer
