Bug Description

while working on Grim anticheat, I discovered that this bugfix in Debugify causes a significant loss in prediction precision down to E-4 (while vanilla maintains E-15). this may be noticeable in gameplay, as Grim may detect players and teleport them back.

Modifications to the cos/sin lookup table affect almost every aspect of the game, such as movement, combat, block placement, and even world generation (iirc)

This issue only exists in versions 1.21.10 and lower, and the root cause is:
https://github.com/isXander/Debugify/blob/archive/1.21.10/src/main/java/dev/isxander/debugify/mixins/basic/mc199467/MthMixin.java

historically, we've already had a similar case with OptiFine's FastMath option, which caused many issues, as shown below:

Logs or additional context

I think the correct way of solving this problem in older versions is to find places where entity's age calculations happen and inject into these methods.

due to the popularity of older versions of this mod and the modpacks that include it, simply ignoring the issue is not a viable option, as thousands of players could be falsely flagged for game modifications they were not even aware they had installed.

I don't know what your policy is regarding issues like this, but updating older versions of the mod would be really helpful in mitigating the issues this causes.

Has not been reported.

  • I made sure this bug hasn't already been reported.

Is on most update to date version.

  • I made sure I am using the most up to date fabric/quilt loader and mod version.
