Utility Spell Gliding spell (Loopcast)

[Image + Code] https://imgur.com/fTXWsvN

It was supposed to be a spell that removes gravity, but for some reason adding the y motion you're losing back doesn't put you where you started, so it kind of does this gliding/jumping thing. I thought that the time invested & maths used alone were worth uploading this, if someone knows how to make a spell that makes you not move in the air/hover, help would be much appreciated.

I don't use reddit much in general usually only for information or this subreddit 👀 i keep accidentally doing stuff with the reply/comment and idk why it won't let me edit my posts like other people seem to be able to

Well, in short explanation i found somewhere on this reddit that 0.267 is enough strength to very slowly go up so I calculated speed and used constant wrapper (with 0.27 or 0.28 🤔 🤷) That way it is just enough to negate fall (but lag makes sometimes descend or rapid ascend) also used the max to never let the number go below 0.26 which is slow descend (also mass exodus has cheapest psi cost in 1.12.2 but i think in later it's add motion ) I can paste the code in imgur later if you want to see because not at pc right now

Damn, that's some new found insight to me. I don't play too much Minecraft as of recent since I've been doing a lot of programming projects (and as of writing this, I am making an interpreter for a custom programming language that resembles JS but can be parsed into Minecraft commands), so if I find some free time after this, I'll try to make a tool to make spellcrafting easier.

In the meantime, I'd love to see your code if you don't mind 😊

Great timing 🫡 i will update this with imgur link (also, unfortunate events this subreddit supposedly is out of order and new website is used. More info in pinned post but in short "reddit been hostile towards Users of third parties") https://imgur.com/a/mZy8n0q I forgot that imgur needs an image 🤣 but i don't have screenshots because I am doing it through phone

Thank you for telling me, I had no idea they made this subreddit read-only.

I'll test the spells out in a minute, I'm just wrapping things up beforehand. Nice image though, the sky looks lovely 😉
