Arrows would bounce off me.

Even though I'm using the MaxTPS plugin (which is outdated and looking for people to take it over ;) and its set to not drop xp orbs, but for some reason when I'm vanished and something dies near me xp orbs will twirl around me.

As far as I know XP is not something controllable just yet. Arrows are already listed under #180

Experimentation revealed experience orbs throw an EntityTargetEvent, cancelling the event does nothing however.

Mmhmm

@ammaraskar @mbax
Incorrect. If you cancel EntityTargetEvent for xp orbs they will not move towards the player.

However they will appear to move towards the player. This is a client-side ONLY visual issue. On the server (and thus to the eyes of all other players) the xp orbs will not move at all.

aah, just tested it and yup, its definitely a client side prediction glitch

@ammaraskar Great, now I don't have to double check! :D

Closing as arrows are already covered under the other one.
