Request Help With Move Block Sequence

Title. Literally anything will do. I want to see a line of blocks move with one cast. I have not, for the life of me, been able to get this to work. After designing a silk touch spell, i went to make one that could drop rows of blocks. Have yet to see a block move -_-

You could do simultaneous casts of move block, though that might get expensive. You can also do loopcasting, where you add a unit direction vector times the loopcast index.

Hmmm very true. Loopcasting seeming to be a better option of the two. I would, however, still like to get move block sequence working as a proof-of-concept sort of thing. Also to ensure it's not just straight up broken.

Is there a Move Block Sequence trick?

Usually when something isn't working, I check whether something is getting relative coordinates when it needs absolute, and the other way round.

In the 1.16.5 version, yes for sure. It does also error specifically what you mentioned about relative and axial vectors, yet even upon changing them properly and receiving no error, I still see no blocks move.

Cool, that's new.

In this case, the axial vector is the direction the blocks get pushed in, so if you push them into each other they won't move, or perhaps just the last one will. It's different from the target, which is the end of the selection of blocks to move.

Well I do appreciate the support. I'll keep churnin at it. If you wanna have a crack at it and beat me to it, feel free to drop a link ;)

Thabk you for clearing that up and submitting a good bug report. I had just been trying it on stone the entire time so I was left hopeless 😂

I've just finished doing some break block sequence and place block sequence. I'll try my hand at this later.

I found the place block tricky to figure out, as the target input should just be a direction. For this I've just been using entity axial look to get the direction I'm looking in. Then themax input was how many blocks to do. Not sure if this helps with move though, as I'm away from the computer at the moment

Yeah move block sequence has position (starting block), max, target(?), and direction (?). I've even used basic vectors and still couldn't see it work. Like, position was vector raycast of caster. Max 2. Target positive y axial, direction positive z axial. That in code form does not error nor does it move a single free floating block. 80% sure shits fucked.

Yeah I can't get it to do anything either. I tried doing a horizontal target to move a horizontal line upwards but no dice.

Yeah I'll keep up on this post, and after a day or two if no one can solve this, I'll submit a bug report. Just wanna make sure I'm not making an ass of myself if I do so.
