Prerequisites

• I made sure I am running the latest development build
• I tried to look for similar issues before opening a new one
• I have set debugmessages=true in config to diagnose my issue
• I have redacted session tokens and passwords before attaching screenshots

Minecraft Version

1.8.9

Console Client Version

1.8.9

Expected Behavior

The bot should be more snappier and follow the player without needing to be in a certain distance/proximity with the bot. I expect the bot to already learn how auto jump approaching blocks, hurdling around objects, and swim. Please use ChatGPT if you can't code.

Actual Behavior

Suggestion: Improve the response time and functionality of the bot in general.

This is not a bug, physics are not implemented in the client, due to the code base being over 10 years old. it requires a re-write from ground up for this to be implemented. Thus it can't swim.
This also affects the path finding, because the code of the client needs to be refactored to execute moving faster. As stated in the documentation.
After 1.21 update, I have a plan to start working on re-factoring the client, but it's a multiple months of work for it to get to this level.

To speed the bot a bit, you can increase the movement speed, and the rate of bot update in the configuration.
Try setting: Update_Limit to 0.5
