Difference between the different raycast functions in World

[Stay1444]

Hello! I was trying to Raycast from a position to another one, and i found that there are three methods to do so.

raycast(RaycastContext) in BlockView
raycast(BlockStateRaycastContext) in BlockView
raycastBlock(Vec3d, Vec3d, BlockPos, VoxelShape, BlockState) in BlockView

So far, I've only managed to get raycast(RaycastContext) to correctly give me the first block it encounters, like this

raycast(new RaycastContext(top, bottom, RaycastContext.ShapeType.COLLIDER, RaycastContext.FluidHandling.ANY, ShapeContext.absent()));

raycast with BlockStateRaycastContext returns the end position always, and raycastBlock returns null always.

What is the difference between these methods?

Yeah doesn't sound weird at all. Fabric has a real problem with its documentation. Sadly I can only provide an example in kotlin right now, but here you go ``` fun getHighestBlockAt(chunk: Chunk, position: Vec3d, fluidHandling: FluidHandling?): BlockHitResult { val top = Vec3d(position.x, chunk.topY.toDouble(), position.z) val bottom = Vec3d(position.x, chunk.bottomY.toDouble(), position.z) return chunk.raycast( RaycastContext( top, bottom, RaycastContext.ShapeType.COLLIDER, fluidHandling, ShapeContext.absent() ) ) } ```

Just saw this notification, thank you for taking the time to explain.

I had deleted my original comment a few minutes after posting because I managed to work it out.
The raycast functions in minecraft are so weird, man. The only one that worked for me is BlockView.raycast()
