Is it possible to get f3 data and change render distance?

[Caleb-Tan]

Basically I'm trying to make a bot simulating parts of the game that a speedrunner would do, and I'm wondering how I would get f3 data (or if it's even possible to get that data).
I'm mainly trying to obtain the entity data shown here:

Also, is it possible to change the render distance of a bot in a world, thus being able to control things like entity spawning, etc..

@Caleb-Tan You can get each of the f3 properties individually. For your example, the information is always:

E: 0/ Object.values(bot.entities).length

The first value is always 0 since the bot does not have a rendering engine.

ah gotcha, I suppose in my case that's not quite what i'm trying to do because the first number is just as important. Either way, thanks for the help

Well, you can probably write a frustum culling algorithm, then filter all entities that are outside of it, and filter out all entities that are greater than 100 meters (I believe that's the max entity draw distance), and then check the length of the remaining entities that fit both.

Yees, it is possiblee to change the render distance in the createBot, here

[Caleb-Tan]

Yea, is it possible to specify more specifically with numbers? Also can you change render distance after you've already initialized the bot?

[u9g]

You can't specify more, no. The packet sent by mineflayer to the server is limited by mojang's implementation which only allows for the four settings, as seen here in the packet doc. I don't believe you can change the view distance while running the bot at the moment, but you can make a feature request for that, it wouldn't be too hard to add.

The render distance set in the client has no effect. The server decides the render distance
