Entity Transport

Different ways to move entities

Entity velocity

Every time the entity ticks, the entity moves by the entity velocity. Entities have a friction coefficient (even when on air) of x0.99 or x0.98, which is applied to their velocity every time the entity ticks.

• Cramming adds a small amount to the velocity each tick
• Slime: Set velocity in the pushed axis to 1 block per second unless the velocity is already higher
• Explosion: Increase velocity in the direction directly away from the tnt

Piston pushing

Tile entity of moving pistons pushing entity, capped at 0.51 block per axis per gt

Minecart snapping

A minecart will snap to a rail if its position is in the rail’s block or the block above, it will move to a postion depending on the curve and slope of the rail, up to 0.75 blocks sideways with curved rail, 1.9375 block downward.

Examples:

• 10 bps piston conveyor: piston pushing 0.5 block/gt
• 20-30 bps piston and slime conveyor: piston pushing: 0.5 block/gt+slime: 1 block/gt velocity
• Piston bolt, 40 bps minecart deelevator: piston pushing: 0.5 block/gt + minecart sideways snapping: 0.5 block/gt
• Lazy entity launcher: cramming velocity accumulated while the entity is not ticking
• Tnt cannons: multiple explosions in 1 tick (or more if “lazy acceleration” is utilized).
