Ritchie's Projectile Library
Code reused in multiple projects by rbasamoyai.
Adds the following features:
#ritchiesprojectilelib:precise_motion: an entity type tag that sends more detailed movement and position data to clients.A configurable chunkloading system oriented towards modded long-range and fast projectiles.
- Unloads forceloaded chunks that are no longer in use
- Loads a portion of forceloaded chunks at a time to reduce performance impact while still allowing for many long distance projectiles
- Screen shake effect for mods, particularly those focused on firearms and artillery
- Projectile bursts, for effective simulation of things like fragmentation explosions, shotgun pellets, and shrapnel shells without having to rely on large amounts of entities
