Launch angle calculator[calcnote 1]
Given a target coordinate and an initial speed, calculate the entity launch angle to hit the target. Target is hit after ticks.
X 10 Yaw deg
Y 10 Pitch

Z 10 Speed 3 m/tick
  1. ↑ a b Yaw and pitch follow the Minecraft's convention, thus zero yaw is directed at +Z (south) and looking upwards corresponds to negative values of pitch.
