Description
Bad Throws
A Fabric mod that always returns extreme projectile vector values.
How ?
When choosing what velocity to give a projectile, Minecraft does the following:
public Vec3 getMovementToShoot(final double xd, final double yd, final double zd, final float pow, final float uncertainty) {
return (new Vec3(xd, yd, zd)).normalize().add(this.random.triangle((double)0.0F, 0.0172275 * (double)uncertainty), this.random.triangle((double)0.0F, 0.0172275 * (double)uncertainty), this.random.triangle((double)0.0F, 0.0172275 * (double)uncertainty)).scale((double)pow);
}The above code adds an offset with a triangle distribution of bounds 0.0172275 * uncertainty in each axis. See the Minecraft Wiki for uncertainty values per-projectile.
This creates a cube of possible vector end-points, where values closer to the center are linearly more likely. With the mod, every projectile's throw angle vector will be on one of the 8 corners of the cube, emulating a theoretically possible throw.
Why ?
Most pearl or arrow lineups are luck-dependent. With a bad throw, the whole machine can break. When creating throw lineups or capturing shot / dispensed arrows, make sure that it works, even with a bad throw.

Snowball Cube 8 Snowballs thrown at the worst angles, forming a cube. Every position inside of this cube from the initial throw is theoretically possible. -
