The trajectory is shown near the crosshair. From the player's perspective, it looks like a vertical line.

Description

This mod displays the path that will be taken by a projectile, so you can see where it will go before you shoot it.  It will automatically detect the item you are holding, and if it is a ranged item the predicted trajectory will be drawn on the screen.  Since this is a visual feature, the mod is only required on the client.  It can be installed on a server, but it will do nothing there. 

 

 

Currently works with:

  • Vanilla Minecraft: bow and arrow, snowball, egg, ender pearl, splash and lingering potions, and fishing rods
  • Tinkers' Construct: shortbow, longbow, crossbow, shuriken, EFLN, and glowball.  Properly accounts for hovering and endspeed ammo
  • CoFH mods: reinforced bows and flux-infused bow
  • TF2 Stuff: various projectile weapons (the ones that launch an entity, not the hitscan ones) including sticky bomb launchers, flamethrowers, syringe gun, etc

Known problems:

  •  Many projectiles have slightly random starting velocity, so they will not precisely follow the displayed path.  Nonrandom ones include Tinkers' crossbows and shurikens
  • The trajectory prediction always uses air's drag number.  If the projectile enters water, the prediction is no longer accurate after that point
  • Only items in main hand are detected
