Get distance#

#bs.position:get_distance_ata {scale:<scaling>}

Compute the distance between the source entity and the execution position of the function.

Inputs:

Macro Var scale: Scalar for the function’s outputs.

Outputs:

Return | Score $position.get_distance_ata bs.out: Distance between the two positions.

Calculate the distance between you and the nearest sheep (in blocks, without scaling):

# Once
execute at @e[type=sheep,limit=1,sort=nearest] run function #bs.position:get_distance_ata {scale:1}

# See the result
tellraw @a [{"text": "Distance: ", "color": "dark_gray"},{"score":{"name":"$position.get_distance_ata", "objective": "bs.out"}, "color": "gold"}]

Performance tip

For several applications such as comparing distances, you can use the squared distance instead of the “normal” distance. It is a bit faster to compute.

#bs.position:get_distance_squared_ata {scale:<scaling>}

Compute the squared distance between the source entity and the execution position of the function.

Inputs:

Execution as <entities>: Entity positioned at the reference point.

Execution at <entity> or positioned <x> <y> <z>: Position to get the distance from.

Macro Var scale: Scalar for the function’s outputs.

Outputs:

Return | Score $position.get_distance_ata bs.out: Squared distance between the two positions.

Calculate the squared distance between you and the nearest sheep (in blocks, without scaling):

# Once
execute at @e[type=sheep,limit=1,sort=nearest] run function #bs.position:get_distance_squared_ata {scale:1}

# See the result
tellraw @a [{"text": "Distance^2: ", "color": "dark_gray"},{"score":{"name":"$position.get_distance_squared_ata", "objective": "bs.out"}, "color": "gold"}]

Score limitation

Scores in Minecraft have a limited size similar to a signed int variable. The latter is huge, but not unlimited and can overflow. Since this function uses powers of 2 to calculate the result, you should prefer the “normal” version (which does not rely on powers) when working over big distances.
