Unclear documentation on `Minecraft.camera.setFollow(entityId)`

See original GitHub issue

The official API reference’s documentation upon the aforementioned method is ambiguous.

In the description it says:

“Set camera mode to follow an entity ([entityId])”

While in the code, the comment suggests that entityId is that of the entity who’s camera is being changed:

#set camera mode to follow for a specific player
mc.camera.setFollow(entityId)

So, does entityId refer to that of the player to follow or the player whose camera view is changed?

You see, I only have one Raspberry Pi as of now, so I can’t.

Can’t you launch Minecraft Pi more than once and join on LAN?

I tried out Minecraft.camera.setFollow(entityId) and entityId refers to the entity to follow, it sets the camera of the player that is using the API to hover above the entity that is specified by entityId.

@Bigjango13 can you? I didn’t know that. That’s cool. I’ve been waiting for so long for another Raspberry Pi and it turns out I can join my own LAN game. Huh. Not sure if my puny Raspberry Pi Zero W can handle it though. Thank you for the clarification on entityId.
