/path command

This is a suggestion for a new command in minecraft. Messing with custom mob AI or cutscenes, is quite difficult because you have to do some wobbly command block magic to make the character move in a direction you want it to, and usually when you figure that out, it will look unnatural and wont even have proper physics. This is why I suggest a new command: /path. This command will assign an entity some coordinate to walk towards. Say, if you want your friendly neighborhood cave spider to walk to the center of the world. /path @e[type=minecraft:cave_spider] to 0 64 0 if you would like your best friend, Joseph the fox to travel to you because you've lost it on a messy thunderstorm, you'd ask the server owner to use /execute at You run path @e[type=minecraft:fox,name="Joseph"] This is my suggestion! I would love to have it in the game and I'm sure everyone else would like it too. Notes: Forcing a player to walk somewhere should cause an error

    On the error bit, maybe the game should calculate if it is possible, and if it isn't, then raise an error. also, there should be a detour argument which is set to false automatically, and makes the mob walk around the obstacle if true instead of just walking straight into it then slowly moving to the side if at an angle.

    For the map maker and the dynamisme of the building it can be an amasing command ! Have some mobs walking to a selected point can be juste ! WAW

    I don’t think it’s necessary, because developers can implement AI behaviors of custom entities through mathematical calculations and a bunch of execute or data commands.
