# Trajectory Guard: A Trajectory Mod<\/p>\n

![Trajectory Guard Banner (Steve being saved from falling because of this mod)](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/Sdl5gZf1\/images\/31ffeb7fd9fda6b3b3d224ea78bfe7f3df421c03.png)
\n## \ud83d\udccb Overview:<\/p>\n

\n\ud83c\udfae Multiplayer<\/summary>\n

– This mod works in both single-player and multiplayer!<\/p>\n

– **Important:** Confirm, that you are allowed to use this mod on the multiplayer server you are playing on, as it may be considered cheating.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\u2753 What It Does<\/summary>\n

This mod simulates the trajectories of projectiles like arrows and shows you a preview, where they will most likely be shot.
\nBased on what the projectile will most likely hit, the lines color will change to:<\/p>\n

Green (Solid Block)<\/p>\n

Gray (Nothing)<\/p>\n

Red (Entity)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\u2753 Why does it Exist?<\/summary>\n

I have found 5 other Mods that do something similar, but they all have some Issues (my opinion), which is why Trajectory Guard exists:<\/p>\n

Trajectory Estimation:
\nPartially wrong physics are used for trajectory calculation<\/p>\n

Trajectory:
\nOnly for 1.21, also has bad visuals (intrusive particles)<\/p>\n

Trajectory Preview:
\nBad Raycasting for Trajectory, sideways motion is applied to trajectory (wrong), bad visuals for long distances.<\/p>\n

TrajectoryFabric:
\nVery good visuals, correct trajectory calculation (even calculating offset angle), but sadly the projectile hit box does not work and the configuring feels like a 1.8.9 mod. It does not support newer weapons (e.g. crossbows) and, because of no consideration for sneaking, the displayed trajectory is wrong when and even after sneaking. It also has sadly little optimisation.<\/p>\n

All of the above mods suffer from only rendering at low fps.<\/p>\n

This Mod uses correct physics, improves on the visuals from TrajectoryFabric and implements working projectile hit box previews. It renders at high fps and is also optimized, thus not noticeably decreasing performance. It supports all important projectiles (Bow, Crossbow, Trident, Enderpearl, Snowball, Egg) and has no (known) bugs.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\ud83d\ude80 Getting Started<\/summary>\n

1. Bind the “Toggle Trajectory Guard” key from the “Trajectory Guard” category to a key of your choice.
\n2. Click that key _(a text should now tell you whether you switched the mod on or off)_
\n3. Have fun with the mod!<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

## \u2699\ufe0f Technical:<\/p>\n

\n\u274c Does it not work like you want it to?<\/summary>\n

_The Mod has to be toggled_<\/p>\n

### No text appears, when you press the button:<\/p>\n

Did you set the _correct keybinds_? (The mod is unbound by default)<\/p>\n

### The game crashes:<\/p>\n

Do you have all dependencies installed? (Fabric API)
\nDid you download the correct _mod version_ for your _game version_?<\/p>\n
