Fireball Predictor

Fireball Predictor

A ghast fireball takes about three seconds to hit you. That’s enough time to move, if you know where it’s going.

Fireball Predictor draws the flight path of incoming fireballs, wither skulls and wind charges into the world, marks where they’ll land, outlines the blocks they’ll destroy, and puts the hearts you’re about to lose on your health bar before the hit lands.

What you’ll see

• Trajectory: A trajectory arc from the shooter to the impact point.
• Shockwave Dome: A dome at the impact point, roughly the size of the coming explosion.
• Block Highlights: Outlines on the exact blocks the blast will break.
• Warning Badge: A countdown badge when something is on a collision course with you.
• Cracking hearts over your health bar: the damage the hit will deal after armor, Protection, Blast Protection, absorption and Resistance are all accounted for.

It tracks ghast fireballs, wither skulls, wind charges, dragon fireballs, and shots from players, dispensers and commands. The mod works out who fired what, so you can highlight ghast fire only and ignore wither projectiles.

The prediction runs vanilla’s own explosion code on the client, so the highlighted blocks are the ones that will actually break.
