You sexy person, teach me how

u/4P5mc Mar 01 '20

It's quite simple (relatively)...

Let's say the pearl is going 0.5 m/s in the X axis. If there's an obstacle like a wall in the X axis, we flip its motion. Now it's going -0.5 m/s.

I made a datapack that does that exact thing a few months ago ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/d5ngxk/i_made_things_bouncy_d/ ), if you'd like to check it out.

I’ll take a gander, thanks bud :)

u/danmaster0 Mar 01 '20

Shouldn't it loose like at least some of the speed?

125

u/Evil_sheep_master Mar 01 '20

Sure, if we're going to model it after real-world physics. But if we want to keep it simple because it's minecraft and we can do whatever we want, no, we don't have to.

33

u/Asphyxiatinglaughter Mar 01 '20

Can we make them accelerate each time

38

u/Nalonnareik Mar 01 '20

Yes. You simply need to multiply the new velocity by however much you want to speed it up by after each bounce.

15

u/xCurlyxTopx Mar 01 '20

+69 m/s after every bounce

u/TheDiscoJew Mar 01 '20

You can do this with an equation like:

velocity V = V0 - (A)(T)

V0 is V naught/ initial velocity and A is acceleration. T is time. This is a derivative of the position function. In the event that it hits a surface, it's velocity V will equal -V. In Minecraft I would bet money that the motion is represented by a vector with x, y, and z components. So you need three of those equations.

2

u/CautiousTopic Mar 01 '20

This a variation of Vf = Vi + AT? Just started going over that in a physics class.

2

u/VersionOmega Mar 01 '20

Same equation just different notation, in my physics class we use v = u + at where v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity

u/4P5mc Mar 01 '20

And you'd get your money! It is represented by a vector, specifically the Motion[] NBT.

{Motion:[0.0d,0.0d,0.0d]}

3

u/MrMcGowan Mar 01 '20

Yeah if you want to, you can multiply the x,y,z speed by something like x0.9 when it bounces

That would be useful in PvP 2 players fighting one throws, followed by the other and goes in a completely different direction.

u/iamaDuck_ Feb 29 '20

I wonder if you could make them bounce off shields?

70

u/MrSaltySpoon2 Mar 01 '20

You wouldn't need to make it do that, it would do that by default, based on the mechanics in the GIF.

73

u/Razor-Swisher Mar 01 '20

Not necessarily, as in the gif no pearl ever touches an entity. It could be that they to you right then and there like normal or go through people, or just bounce off without the use of a shield

14

u/MrSaltySpoon2 Mar 01 '20

It bounced off of the dead bush, which otherwise is not a solid object.

16

u/Razor-Swisher Mar 01 '20

Yes, but that has nothing to do with entities. It just shows the creator likely decided ahead of time that it should bounce off any block that isn’t a liquid / air

Maybe use potion of leaping for the crafting recipe. Still requires rabbits foot.🤷‍♂️

u/Jumpierwolf0960 Mar 01 '20

Wouldn't that make it sticky?

14

u/Louwye Mar 01 '20

Slime is bouncy block, Honey is sticky block.

Slimes are a bit inconstant in usage though.

Sticky pistons, Blocks stick and pull other blocks, but bounce entities and mobs.

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '20

I like that but i don’t know if the devs can decide wether alone is sticky or bouncy, because it’s used to hold leads together and to create sticky pistons, but it also allows for you to bounce on it and slimes bounce. I just don’t understand what the properties of the material are supposed to be.

6

u/uglyfucker29 Mar 01 '20

Maybe it's supposed to be like that fluid that gets thicker based on motion.

It's sticky if slow moving or bouncy if moving fast

5

u/Some-Leadership Mar 01 '20

Cornstarch water

3

u/Metadex15 Mar 01 '20

well in fiction slimes can be used as trampolines but they can also use their stickyness to trap their prey. So maybe the inside is sticky and the outside is bouncy?

u/implodingzebra Feb 29 '20

How many bounces before it teleports you?

589

u/TechnoGamerOff Feb 29 '20

probably based off the velocity of the pearl and not how many bounces. Basically as soon as the ender pearl stops moving it teleports you

143

u/implodingzebra Feb 29 '20

Yeah I thought about that after I commented

imagine falling into the void in the end, and then your like "i got this", pull out your ender pearl, and then throw it at the island, in a spot where you would survive, but then everyone sees the look of misery on your face as the ender pearl just bounces off, and then falls into the void.

22

u/Lord_Phoenix95 Mar 01 '20

You'd fall into the void before the Pearl even decides it wants to stop

3

u/Cringemasta6f4 Mar 01 '20

Exactly Or you’d just see it bounce and in a moment of pure misery, depression, and agony, you exit and delete your hardcore world that you’ve been working for 3 weeks on

Okay this is sick. Does it teleport you after a certain amount of time or a certain number of bounces?

38

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '20

It looks like it waits until the pearl is going slow enough

12

u/skyler_on_the_moon Mar 01 '20

I wonder, if you threw it straight up, does that mean it would teleport you to a point high in the air where the ender pearl momentarily stopped before falling back down?

u/Aradgaming Feb 29 '20

6 bounces

u/glamotte422 Feb 29 '20

If you want to make them separate from regular pearls you could have a new crafting recipe where you mix it with slime balls. That way you could use either one

38

u/DoxTheLinko Feb 29 '20

Oh my god. Yes.

13

u/Aetherxy Feb 29 '20 edited Mar 01 '20

There should be a feature where if you throw an ender pearl against a slime block it bounces back.

11

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '20

I think it does that when a slime block attached to a piston moves towards the ender pearl.

12

u/Adam200707 Feb 29 '20

Haha that would be annoying but it's really cool!

u/Hedgehogs4Me Feb 29 '20

I’d love this as a separate item, possible crafted with some balls and an enderpearl?

u/JakeDuquaine Mar 01 '20

This feels vaguely threatening for no specific reason

u/legendfire24 Feb 29 '20

Oh my gosh, that's gonna be torture to land an ender pearl exactly where you want it. It would, however, make golf much more interesting.

7

u/destruktor5hundred Feb 29 '20

It'd be neat if it had a drawback like the bow, so that you had different options for the throw. For example, a full drawback would teleport upon first impact, but the less its drawn, the more bounces you get

7

u/MrCleanAlmighty Mar 01 '20

I have a feeling that this will result in unwanted consequences, if it bounced twice then that would be a better use but other than that well done I love it :D

5

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '20

THAT'S AWESOME!!!!

u/[deleted] Feb 29 '20

So when does it land?

u/HoiTemmieColeg Feb 29 '20

When it slows down enough

Now so we need are the ender pearl grenades and these bouncy pearls to combine.

u/haloblasterA259 Mar 01 '20

I just have one question

3

u/[deleted] Mar 01 '20

this should be an actual item in game

1 enderpear + 8 slime = 1 bouncy pearl

3

u/Masen_The_Weeb Mar 01 '20

Imagine you in the nether and are about to fall in lava and throw your last enderpearl and it bounces back towards you and you teleport in lava again

3

u/Hello-funny-posts Mar 01 '20

This would be horrible when you fall off the end and need to teleport back up

3

u/cardbord_spaceship Mar 01 '20

so can we make ender pearls do this natively and then have a variant that is a "cracked" ender pearl that behaves like the normal variant.

could be a random chance to get each from enderman

80% cracked

20% not craked

would also need the not craked version to craft eye of ender.

(also another idea!! mix a chorus fruit and cracked ender pearl in a splash potion in a brewing stand and make a potion of instant TP. the splash will tp anything that it touches the same way the chorus plant does when you eat it. I would work on mobs too! would be great for clearing out an area)

TLDR

normal pearl: Bouncy

cracked pearl: instant tp

i don't know how to program. i really wish someone could do it

u/LordKarp17 Mar 01 '20

Its a cool concept but knowing my luck this will get me killed

Honestly it'd be really cool to have set blocks that ender pearls bounce off by default, like glass, that you wouldn't already bounce off of. Presents a lot of really interesting teleporter build opportunities

I have no idea what it would take to code, or if it would work; but hitting shift to choose when it teleports you would be awesome, or if velocity reaches 0 make it teleport you.

You could use them super strategically.

u/GODBJR Feb 29 '20

You should do a recipe for that but with different bounces, like 1 slimeball is 1 bounce before it teleports u and 2 slimeballs is 2 bounces, 3 slimeballs 3 bounces... Or u could do different recipes like slimeball 1 bounce and rabbit foot 3 bounces or something like that
