ore bag magnet pickup prediction is evil #26259

Description

it will always predict based on where client thinks you are but pickup is based on server position so you have to slowly move around everything in long straight paths, since if you just move around normally client will predict picking it up then change direction and server doesnt think they could pick it up anymore

possible fix is having client say what ores get picked up with some lag compensated extended radius or a capsule, technically could be abused by malf client but better to have it than meme magnet

possible bandaid just remove misprediction until better solution exists, that way you at least wont get juked and have to do a double take (or disable prediction in settings just to have usable ore bag)
