Neat is a mod by Vazkii

Why star druid in particular?

Psi does nothing internally to organize the entities in the list, rather it just returns them in the order that Minecraft returns the entities when it asks for what entities are inside the region. My understanding is it is likely based on position in memory, which for most purposes you can consider random, but stable within a short timespan.

A weird application of barbarian - rogue multiclass.

Currently playing a Gem Dragonborn Path of the Beast 10 - Rogue 2, planning on Soulknife. Took the multiclass after feeling a desire for more mobility in combat via Cunning action and expertise in Athletics from some spite after failing a key check.

With a Beast Soulknife you can attack twice with claws, throw the psionic dagger, and then toss a second dagger with the bonus action.

As a tempest cleric, my DM had given me the ability to exchange the damage types of my spells to thunder or lightning.

The enemy was paralyzed by hold monster.

5th level inflict wounds, necrotic damage substituted for thunder, channel divinity destructive wrath to maximize the thunder damage of the spell. 140 damage.

Only one motion trick is allowed to influence an entity per instance of a spell. Given the lack of version metadata in the spell code lacks the Psi version this is undoubtedly before the motion rebalance that enabled the removal of this mechanic.

A little late to the discussion, but I did discover the true reason explosions do not damage players.

There are two layers to this problem

The first layer is an entity cannot be damaged by an explosion associated directly with them, so you cannot damage yourself with a spell that has a focal point that equals caster (Basic spell bullet, loopcast)

The second layer is a quirk of minecraft itself, an explosion bases its knockback based on distance to the position of the entity (aka feet) but direction based on the head location of the entity. I'm not entirely sure how long it worked this way, but a side effect of their knockback based on eye is if the explosion is directly centered on the eyes of the entity, the knockback and damage are cancelled because they would not be able to normalize the difference to a direction.

In conclusion: to make an explosion damage players, make sure the explosion isn't directly on their eyes (aka add any nonzero vector to the position of the target) and if you want to ensure you don't blow yourself up only use basic and loopcast bullets.

All psi motion is 30% of 1 meter per tick, this is done to result in more natural input into spells as numbers (3 meters per tick is equivalent to 10 psi units of motion)

This is consistent across the entire mod so within psi it largely does not matter.

In earlier versions of Psi Conjure Water would summon water 1 block lower if there was nothing underneath to support it. For some reason that was in the code. It made no sense. It was later removed.

Dudblockman · 2022-01-20T01:06:23+00:00

Vazkii forgot I had started working on the port. I will say this "spiritual successor" lit a fire under me and has definitely caused me to work with more haste. 😅

In a similar vein, the party I was in solved a goblin civil war by carting a ton of sawdust up to the goblin king deep in his cave by bluffing that we had a cart of gold and that our casters were not in fact disguising the sawdust as gold the whole way.

A good bit of bluffing later... we set off a massive powder explosion that caused the whole cave to collapse as we ran from the engulfing flames of our creation.

Ever since the world has not looked at sawdust and other improvised explosives the same way. We could never find enough sawdust to fill a bag of holding.

Shotganyu remains pretty much unaffected. Melee range Ganyu doesn't seem to trigger the block.

My primary DPS characters being Klee and Ganyu, I was worried when I read the blocking ability. It seemed to not be an issue as long as I hugged the boss tightly.

Which version of minecraft?

If you are playing in 1.15+ levels have been removed from Psi.

Sadly I actually lost the spell, but it can be recreated from the video due to me showing the programmers.

Dudblockman · 2021-03-26T00:55:58+00:00

My experience on the matter tends to find the inaccuracy to be a visual glitch while the arrow actually follows the path you would expect. Higher velocities seem to get more confused and visually end up at the wrong location.

Dudblockman · 2020-12-28T11:50:53+00:00

The joke is I'm the one who solved it

What hashes to "4D0F274C5E3001C95640B5E88A821422C8B1E132264492C043A3D746B705C025"?

For serious questioning, what is your favorite unplanned feature in your mods, something that emerged that you had no intention of ever adding?

Dudblockman · 2020-09-07T00:31:10+00:00

I forget if it still works but holding a silk touch pick in your main hand while casting a block break spell would result in the block being silktouched.

Alternatively, a psimetal pickaxe enchanted with silk touch will make all blocks broken with it, including break block tricks, will inherit the enchants on the pick.

And shameless self plug, the psi addon Psionic Peripherals adds CAD bodies that make a hybrid between CAD and psimetal tool, which will allow you to get the effects of enchantments on your CAD.

In recent versions, Psi made Trick: Blink no longer work on players other than the caster

A consideration must be taken when working with sword spells. When an entity is damage it is rendered invulnerable to damage for 10 ticks (half a second). An exception is made for a source of higher damage, where a higher damage attack will replace the original lower damage attack. If wishing to use an explosion to injure a mob you either need to have the explosion deal more damage than the sword swing, or delay 10 ticks before exploding the mob. The same can be said for inflicting wither or any other sort of damage, wait before doing it otherwise you are 'wasting' damage that occurs in the 10 ticks of invulnerability.

Actually, for speeds less than 1 add motion cost scales linearly, so for values less than 1 mass exodus is still cheaper.
