gollark: That is HARDLY the problem.
gollark: What?
gollark: Yes.
gollark: There are several problems with what I have now: incorrect timings, meaning you sometimes dodge too late; the system not knowing your velocity due to the insane way MC handles this, making it impractical to determine what's going to hit you; the lack of any detection of obstacles meaning you could dodge into walls.
gollark: If I did, I would have implemented that, unless it was very hard.
