Make it point to a random location

There's already a task running ever tick to point to something. If theres no one to point it to just point it in a random location.

So I have no way of detecting if the compass is actually pointing to a player on the client?

on the client i have no idea. in the bukkit api it's get/setCompassTarget

Okay, another approach. I'll just check if there's a player within a certain range.

(What's the range? :v)

in nms it would be EntityPlayer.compassTarget = new Location(w, x, y, z);

range is about 175 i believe. that's what it is in the combat tag plugin

Now why would the client use nms? :v

what do you think nms is based off? :)

Uh
Common protocols?

it's based off what you use to make mc mods (mcp)

nms isn't "based off" mcp :v
mcp just uses fernflower to decompile nms classes

also, Forge doesn't rely on MCP any more (I don't think)

you can use forge now, wat

I've been using forge for a while

Also, is the 175 block radius a circle or a square?

sqrt[ (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2 ]

You just have to make things hard for me, don't you? :v

:D

lol I copied your code snippet from above
