1.7 Third-person blocking pose

[AndrewScripter587]

Problem Description

When playing on a MC beta 1.8 to release 1.7.10 server, the release 1.8 third-person sword blocking pose is used, when prior MC versions to 1.8 had a different third-person blocking pose.

Solution Description

I would like the 1.7 and older 3rd person blocking pose to be added and used on 1.7 and older servers.

Can you try this version? I introduced some changes since the last release (3.4.5)

[AndrewScripter587]

The blocking pose is still the 1.8 pose on a 1.7 server when 1.7 is selected in VFP in the one in the link you provided. Here's some images for comparison (first 3 are vanilla 1.7's blocking pose from various angles from the front and the 4th is the ViaFabricPlus blocking pose, which is 1.8's, from the front):

I was planning on working on this, but I haven't been able to convert the 1.7 code properly yet

Makes sense, it is usually hard to port these kinds of things.

Yea, 1.9+ changed how the positioning stuff worked and the same values don't work the same anymore, and requires re-working/finding what causes the difference in values

[AndrewScripter587]

Yeah, changing certain methods for stuff has its pros and cons (especially for a large game like Minecraft), like a pro may be making it easier to change and build on top of, but a con being something like this, where certain values don't work the same as they did anymore, making backwards/forwards compatibility, among other things, much harder to implement.
