Entity Position and Rotation

Clientbound

Sent to the client to set an entity's position relative to the clients previous position. Usually sent when an entity has moved less than 4 blocks. Position and rotation data is in entity space and thus quantized.

More specifically:

$$\mathrm{\Delta }p=(p_{new}-p_{old})\cdot 32$$

where $p_{new}$ and $p_{old}$ refer to the X, Y and Z positions received by Player Position and Player Position and Rotation packets. You should set $\mathrm{\Delta }p$ in Entity Position and Rotation as well as Entity Position packets.

NOTE

$\mathrm{\Delta }p$ can overflow 127, which is the limit in the entity space. Hence make sure to check if it overflows and if it does, send $p_{new}$ directly via Teleport Entity.

For Yaw and Pitch:

$$r^{\prime }=r\cdot 256/360$$

Where $r$ refers to Yaw or Pitch received by Player Rotation and Player Position and Rotation packets. $r^{\prime }$ should be set in Entity Position and Rotation as well as Entity Rotation packets.

Field	Type	Description
Entity ID	Integer	The ID of the entity that should be moved
X	Byte	The X offset of the entity (Quantized)
Y	Byte	The Y offset of the entity (Quantized)
Z	Byte	The Z offset of the entity (Quantized)
Yaw	Byte	Rotation on the X Axis (Quantized)
Pitch	Byte	Rotation on the Y Axis (Quantized)
