• Step 4 Go to .../world/datapacks folder.
• Step 5 Move your "Autoaim-Datapack-Squid-Workshop-1.16.5" folder(not the root folder) into .../world/datapacks folder.
• Step 6 Open Minecraft and open the world.
• Step 7 Type "/reload" command then press enter.
• Step 8 Enjoy

PS: If not working, check whether the datapack is enabled by:

/datapack list

Enable it by:

/datapack enable "datapackname"

Usage

Player

• Get a "bow" that will help you aim:

  /function app:get/autoaim/bow
  

• Press F to select different entity types. Press Shift+F to scroll backward.

• Right click and drag. You will be rotated to aim at an qualified target, release the bow at full power to shoot at them.

• Repeat again after you complete shooting.

How it Works

Finding the Qualified Target

• The target is within 64m of the shooter. The range is predefined to be less than the maximum reach of bow, as the bow becomes unstable and longer elapsed time diminishes the effectiveness of prediction (please try the Squid Workshop guns!).
• The target is chosen by comparing the "view angles" of aimer->target and target->aimer. The small difference (after flipping the latter due to reversed direction) indicates that the aimer is likely looking at the target!
• The target is not changed until the next drawing of the bow.

Aiming

• After the player started charging the bow, aiming is performed for 3 seconds unless the bow is released sooner.
• The aiming considers the position and instataneous motion of the target. It will find an aim angle, in such situation the fully charged arrow will arrive at the predicted position of target after the same specific time, assuming the target is moving at constant motion.
• The instataneous motion of target is calculated from change of position over time, once every two ticks (10Hz) due to caveats of Minecraft's inherent Motion nbt.
• The aiming will not try indefinitely, if the target is not able to be reached by arrow (i.e. the target is flying away at a speed faster than the arrow), or the calculation uses a specific threashold of computational power.

Will provide ways to change some of these parameters.
