Entity Documentation - minecraft:behavior.circle_around_anchor

minecraft:behavior.circle_around_anchor causes an entity to circle around an anchor point placed near a point or target.

Parameters

Name	Default Value	Type	Description
angle_change	15.0	Decimal	Number of degrees to change this entity's facing by, when the entity selects its next anchor point.
goal_radius	0.5	Decimal	Maximum distance from the anchor-point in which this entity considers itself to have reached the anchor point. This is to prevent the entity from bouncing back and forth trying to reach a specific spot.
height_above_target_range	[ 0.0, 0.0 ]	Range [a, b]	The number of blocks above the target that the next anchor point can be set. This value is used only when the entity is tracking a target.
height_adjustment_chance	0.002857	Decimal	Percent chance to determine how often to increase or decrease the current height around the anchor point. 1 = 100%. "height_change_chance" is deprecated and has been replaced with "height_adjustment_chance".
height_offset_range	[ 0.0, 0.0 ]	Range [a, b]	Vertical distance from the anchor point this entity must stay within, upon a successful height adjustment.
priority	not set	Integer	The higher the priority, the sooner this behavior will be executed as a goal.
radius_adjustment_chance	0.004	Decimal	Percent chance to determine how often to increase the size of the current movement radius around the anchor point. 1 = 100%. "radius_change_chance" is deprecated and has been replaced with "radius_adjustment_chance".
radius_change	1.0	Decimal	The number of blocks to increase the current movement radius by, upon successful "radius_adjustment_chance". If the current radius increases over the range maximum, the current radius will be set back to the range minimum and the entity will change between clockwise and counter-clockwise movement..
radius_range	[ 5.0, 15.0 ]	Range [a, b]	Horizontal distance from the anchor point this entity must stay within upon a successful radius adjustment.
speed_multiplier	1.0	Decimal	Multiplies the speed at which this entity travels to its next desired position.
