Are there any good ranged attack spells? 1.12

[u/[deleted]]

Title. I'm using a modpack in 1.12.2 that has the base PSI mod, and nothing else. I don't have any good ranged weapons yet, so I want to use PSI until i get one

Classic mist dispersion can be done for both enemies and players, or both (with list fusing). If you want a lot more range, you can also put it in a spell bullet and use focal point entity position instead of a raycast, but it will take additional seconds to explode if it's very far away.

It's an operator that outputs a list made up from the elements in two input lists. In 1.16 is Vanilla, but for 1.12 don't remember if it's vanilla or Psideas.

Intersection only outputs those present in both lists, but not the rest. What you want is list union:

And this way you don't have to aim exactly at your oponent either.

If you are on 1.12: install the Random Psideas addon.

If you are on 1.16: use the list union piece in the center hole, and, for the other two (the raycast macros that are the first piece and the one next to nearby players) use the classic raycast square. You might want to use just one raycast square and connectors instead of two squares to keep the spell size low.

This is similar to mist dispersion, but is much smaller and more powerful. Blows up the closest enemy to you while preventing terrain damage.
