.claude/skills/mc-observe-entities/# Minecraft Observe Entities Tool
Enumerates all visible entities (mobs, players, items, etc.) within observation radius. Provides structured summary with pose, entity counts by category and type, nearest entities, and distance-sorted lists.
## Purpose
Visible entity observation for awareness of mobs, players, and items. Returns both human-readable SUMMARY text and machine-readable structured data.
## Input
- `radius`: Optional integer observation radius (default: `7`, max: `7`)
- `entities_radius`: Optional integer observation radius (default: `7`, max: `7`). If both provided, `entities_radius` takes precedence.
- `value`: Ignored
## Output
Returns uniform_return format with:
- `value`: Multi-line SUMMARY text (human-readable, ≤ 1024 chars)
- `data`: Structured observation dict (machine-readable). Key fields:
- `success`: Boolean
- `pose`: `{x, y, z, yaw, pitch}` (floats)
- `entities`: `{total: int, by_category: {string: int}, types: {string: int}, nearest: {string: float}, by_distance: [dict], nearby: [dict]}`
- Each entry in `entities.nearby` includes: `name`, `type`, `position`, `dx`, `dy`, `dz`, `distance` (items may include `item_name`, `item_count`)
- `conf`: `"high"` | `"med"` | `"low"`
- `note`: String (human-readable summary)
## Behavior & Performance
- Enumerates visible entities within radius, filtered by view cone (yaw ±60°, pitch -60..+90) and line-of-sight
- Radius limits: Default 7 blocks, maximum 7 blocks
- Confidence levels: `high` (complete, fast), `med` (complete but slow/many entities), `low` (incomplete observation)
- Entity categorization: Groups entities by category (mob, player, item, other)
## Guidelines
- Use `mc-observe-items` for item-only observation (this tool reports all entity types)
- Use `mc-observe-blocks` for block observation (this tool only reports entities)
- `entities.by_category` provides quick overview of entity types present
- `entities.nearest` shows closest entity of each type
- `conf=low` indicaIssues Found:
