Issue type
  • Bug report
Minetest version
0.4.17.1

(Possibly 0.4.17 as well. (Not 0.4.16 nor 5.0.0-dev).

OS / Hardware

Operating system: At least Windows 8.1 and macOS 10.13.6

OpenGL version: In the case of macOS: OpenGL 2.0

Summary

Entities moving by means of the code in, for example, item_drop move very slowly and jerky. I guess that the code relevant to this bug in that mod is around here.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Use Minetest 0.4.17.1.
  2. Install minetest-mods/item_drop
  3. Enable the item magnet feature by setting item_drop.magnet_radius = 5 in minetest.conf
  4. Start a game, watch the entity travel slowly and jerky towards the player. Compare this to the behavior in the same test done in 5.0.0-dev.

Could be a mod bug?
While coding vehicle mods i've noticed certain seemingly harmless uses of code will cause jerky movement.

@tacotexmex, can you still reproduce it after minetest-mods/item_drop@fc89b2d?

Just tried and I can't reproduce it so this particular use case is solved at least.
