Projectile Trajectory Preview [PTP]
by maDU59_
With Projectile Trajectory Preview, a player sees the path an arrow, ender pearl, snowball or egg will follow before the shot is taken, with the likely impact zone outlined on the target.
What it does
The mod draws a trajectory line for arrows, ender pearls, snowballs, eggs and other projectiles while the player holds them. A target outline and a highlight show the area where the shot is likely to land. Some projectiles receive a random offset in the game, so the real impact can drift a little from the preview.
Players can adjust the look of the trajectory line, the target outline and the target highlight. Settings can be reached through the config screen, opened with the command /ptpConfig. The mod is client-side and does not run on servers, which keeps the preview out of player-versus-player fights. A server can still run it if every player and the server install it on both sides.
Projectile Trajectory Preview requires Fabric API. It is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, and snapshot builds are published as well. The code is under the MIT License and is open source.
