📖 System Overview

In Minecraft 26.1.2, the vacuum engine continuously tracks valid ItemEntity instances within the player's spherical radius and pulls them directly toward eye level using lerp interpolation.

With Phase Shifting (NoClip) active, items phase smoothly through solid walls and blocks, preventing drops from becoming trapped behind obstacles during mining or combat.

🧮 Physics & Vector Mathematics

1. Directional Unit Vector

$$\vec{v}_{\text{target}} = \vec{p}_{\text{eye}} - \vec{p}_{\text{entity}}$$ $$\hat{d} = \frac{\vec{v}_{\text{target}}}{|\vec{v}_{\text{target}}|}$$

2. Velocity Interpolation

$$\text{Speed Scalar } s = \frac{\text{GameRule}(\text{ig:magnet_speed})}{100.0} = 0.8\text{ blocks/tick}$$ $$\vec{u}_{\text{target}} = \hat{d} \times s$$ $$\text{Acceleration Factor } a = \frac{\text{GameRule}(\text{ig:magnet_acceleration})}{100.0} = 0.10$$ $$\vec{v}_{\text{new}} = \vec{v}_{\text{current}} + (\vec{u}_{\text{target}} - \vec{v}_{\text{current}}) \times a$$

3. Ground Anti-Friction Boost

if (entity.onGround()) {
    entity.setOnGround(false);
    entity.setPos(entity.position().add(0, 0.05, 0));
}

🧱 Phase Shifting (NoClip Engine)

1. State Activation: ((IMagnetEntity) entity).ig$setMagnetNoClip() activates a 2-tick countdown.
2. Physics Override (MixinEntity.java):
   • move(MoverType, Vec3): @Inject(at = @At("HEAD")) caches originalNoPhysics and sets entity.noPhysics = true.
   • move(MoverType, Vec3): @Inject(at = @At("RETURN")) restores entity.noPhysics = originalNoPhysics.
3. Pushout Prevention: @Inject(method = "moveTowardsClosestSpace", at = @At("HEAD"), cancellable = true) blocks vanilla wall ejection forces.
4. In-Wall Gravity Cancellation: @Inject(method = "applyGravity", at = @At("HEAD"), cancellable = true) cancels gravity only when the item is physically inside a block voxel.
