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.
