Minecraft Display Entity Transformation

display_transform.md

Minecraft Display Entity Transformation applied to model (after normal entity orientation). Defaults to identity. Interpolated. For an easy GUI, check out Misode's tool.

The value is stored in decomposed object form for interpolation & ease-of-use, Supports storing a non-canonical matrix form describing a row-major matrix, is automatically decomposed by the game with a performance cost.

The matrix takes the following form:

[ 
  s0, s1, s2, tx,
  s3, s4, s5, ty,
  s6, s7, s8, tz,
    i0, i1, i2, w
]

Where:

• i0-i2: Ignored values, these can be anything, but the game will ignore the values.
• w: This value is used as a divisor of all other values (except i0-i2). i.e. all the other values get divided by w before doing any further calculations.
• tx, ty, tz: Translation value, this is used directly as the transformation.translation after dividing by w. i.e. transformation:{translation:[tx/w, ty/w, tz/w]}.
• s0-s8: After dividing each element by w, this top left 3x3 of the matrix is passed through the Singular Value Decomposition algorithm to extract the transformation.left_rotation, transformation.scale, and transformation.right_rotation. The exact values of this decomposition are difficult to predict.
