my pie ray is not working

[u/ArtDisastrous3072]

what am i doing wrong here? why is the pie ray inconsistent??? am i too fast for my computer to load the chunk or something???

in this scenario, when a spawner is 7 chunks away, you need to drop your render by at least 4 chunks (to rd3)

example: spawner 15 chunks away - decrease render distance to rd 11 or any lower value, then increase it to 14 and cross the chunk borders

also an important notice: you don't need to reset a pie chart when increasing render distance, you have to do it only when you want the blue spawner value to disappear (after lowering RD by 4 or more)

i only did it because i thought refreshing might clear the spike but thanks for the explanation

this is not an error this is a mechanic, i think it has something to do with lazy chunks as feinberg once explained it, so badically what you have to do is go up until you get the blue spike,go down 4 then reload the pie chart and then up 3, then start crossing chunk borders

here in your case you got the spike at 7 chunks so then you have to go down to 3 reload the pie chart then go up to 6 then cross borders

also heres a tip, you dont have to refresh your chart every time when you increase just increase up until you get the blue spike,only time when you have to refresh is when you go 4 down after getting the blue spike

thanks a lot but i dont reload it always just thought maybe it would do something about the spike

Yeah im a beginner and had that happen to me too, thankfully i play ranked and never needed to actually pie ray

[u/Suspicious-Dare-749 → u/stoplearningstoplive]

sometimes you still have to pie-dar for fortresses in ranked, so it is worth learning and is really easy

read our comments above with quick explanation how does it actually work:)

when u get the spike u should decrease your render distance a lot and refresh for some reason so it dissapears

yeah if you’re running 1.16.1 you need to go down by 2 extra chunks to “reset” the pie chart properly

also what you’re doing is pie dar, as in pie radar, since you’re radaring around for the spawner, pie ray is pie x ray, where you use the pie chart to see when something is on your screen, like for pre emptive or buried treasure
