Navigating Terrain with Cosine Wave Effects Active

Understanding the Wavy Screen Distortion

Cosinus turns ordinary Minecraft landscapes into unusual, wavy scenes using custom cosine mathematical functions. While the visual rules on your screen appear warped and cursed, the physical world beneath remains entirely block-based.

Practical Exploration Tips

Navigating undulating terrain requires a slight adjustment to how you read the environment:

  • Rely on Block Outlines: Even when hills and trees appear to bend and sway, hitboxes remain in their vanilla positions. Look for the black outline of the block you are aiming at before placing blocks or breaking terrain.
  • Mind Cliff Edges: Mathematical wave effects can make flat ground look curved or drop-offs seem shifted. When traversing hazardous cliffs or ravines, move cautiously to ensure your actual player position aligns with solid ground.
  • Combat and Interaction: Projectiles and mob paths follow standard vanilla trajectories. Target your crosshair directly at entities rather than trying to compensate for the curved visual distortions on the screen.
