Value	Supported
entity	true
location	true
entity_from_location	true

• special - Plays the effect at the projectile's location as it flies per interval.

Description:

A ranged mechanic that shoots in a line that travels instantly to its end destination.

Configuration:

Since 4.0 Beta 13 some of these options support dynamic values through numeric or string expressions.

Option	Description	Type	Default	Supports expressions
relative-offset	Modifies the start location of the beam by the defined vector.	Vector	0,0.5,0	Depends on vector format.
target-relative-offset	Modifies the entity target location of the beam by the defined vector.	Vector	0,0.5,0	Depends on vector format.
hit-radius	Radius around the beam that will be collided with.	Double	2	true
max-distance	Max distance it will travel before removal.	Double	30	true
vertical-hit-radius	Radius of the vertical collision.	Double	2	true
vertical-rotation	Since 4.0 Beta 13. Rotates the beam on the vertical axis constantly.	Double	0	true
horizontal-rotation	Since 4.0 Beta 13. Rotates the beam on the horizontal axis constantly.	Double	0	true
y-offset	Starting position of the beam according to the caster's location. (Overrides relative-offset)	Double	0	true
gravity	How fast the beam falls, roughly in blocks per travelled distance.	Float	0	true
interval	How often will it play the spell's listed effects in ticks?	Float	1	true
rotation	Rotation of the beam over time and distance to the degree given.	Float	0	true
beam-vert-offset	Starting position vertically.	Float	0	true
beam-horiz-offset	Starting position horizontally.	Float	0	true
beam-spread	Effectively the opposite of accuracy. A higher number means less accuracy.	Float	0	true
beam-vertical-spread	Effectively the opposite of vertical accuracy. A higher number means less accuracy. (overrides beam-spread)	Float	0	true
beam-horizontal-spread	Effectively the opposite of horizontal accuracy. A higher number means less accuracy. (overrides beam-spread)	Float	0	true
change-pitch	Whether to change the start location's pitch.	Boolean	true	true
stop-on-hit-entity	Should the beam stop itself when it hits an entity?	Boolean	false	true
stop-on-hit-ground	Should the beam stop itself when it hits the ground?	Boolean	false	true
spell	Sub-spell cast on hit.	String		float
spell-on-end	Sub-spell cast on beam's end position.	String		float
spell-on-travel	Sub-spell cast on each block along the beam's length	String		float
spell-on-hit-ground	Sub-spell cast when the beam hits ground.	String		float
spell-on-entity-location	Sub-spell to cast when the beam hits a target, firing at the location where the beam hits the entity. For example, if the beam hits the head of a zombie, the spell provided will be cast at the zombie's head. It must be a targeted spell that can hit the ground.	String		float
