How to make a vector constant?

aye guys,
I've (and hopefully you) have played Chrismas Chaos, for one ,fun, and the other, videos showing it and how awesome the falling blocks are constantly floating about 1 pixel above the surface of the block; floating!
Is it negative vectors? thanks,
me.

 

Just set a null velocity to all the blocks you want every tick ?

 

But fallingsand gains velocity.

 

Are you sure those were fallingblocks ? You can go through fallingblocks. You can easily cancel the physics events of normal sand, just listen to BlockPhysicsEvent, and if the block is Sand, cancel the event. It'll fire a few times (5 iirc) and then just stop, but a block change next to that block will trigger other physics events.

 

@ChipDev BlockPhysics event thingy ? cancel the event

@ChipDev You could maybe set the falling block as a passenger of a mob such as a pig.

 

@ChipDev Tried searching? http://bukkit.org/threads/prevent-f...-when-hitting-the-ground.166847/#post-1801635

 

I actually saw that thread

 

@ChipDev :O
Tried doing it with protocolLib?

 

Nah, Ill try more

 

@ChipDev Just found this awesome resource
http://bukkit.org/threads/api-falli...lling-blocks-with-different-functions.300381/
You can spawn a floating falling block + you can still edit it with velocity

 

I think there was a way to do just what you were asking by creating a custom Falling block class extending EntityFallingBlock

 

@TwerkinCraft How that resource is working that I provided in a post.
It spawns a bat and he makes it invisible with some NMS code he sets the passenger a falling block
Make sure that the bat cant move (done by creating a custom entity that extends EntityBat)
