Levitation

[Madis0]

Levitation is considered a harmful effect due to potential fall damage.

Is there a way to show something useful from it on OneBar?

1. Destination Y-level - not too hard, example code is below Problems:
   • not very contextual if the user does not have coordinate view enabled

     if(playerEntity.hasStatusEffect(StatusEffects.LEVITATION)){
         var effect = playerEntity.getStatusEffect(StatusEffects.LEVITATION);
         var estHeight = (float) ((effect.getAmplifier() + 1) * 0.9) * ((float) effect.getDuration() / 20);
         estFallDistance = (float) (playerEntity.getY() + estHeight);
     }

2. Fall height - calculate the distance between est. height and ground level. Problems:
   • Not sure how to get ground level
   • Not sure how to get the ground block (e.g. nullify on water)
   • Distance does not always equal damage, especially for FF4 boots

Point of consideration: what if levitation displayed it's time as a bar like air/freezing/poison instead of focusing on falling distance at all? Though distance estimate would still be beneficial.

The time should either be a literal effect time or based on shulker bullet's defaults (10 sec). Bar color: dark purple (per elytra's durability color or shulkers' color).

The number/bar width could be the height difference instead of any timely value.

Added both levitation and falling distance estimate as separate options in 3.5.0
