To conduct this test, utilize my datapack and execute the command
/execute as @e at @s on owner run function snapshots:raycast_particles/1in a repeating command block. This will generate a line of particles between all entities and their owners.
By running
/data modify entity @e[type=item,sort=nearest,limit=1] Owner set from entity @s UUIDto designate yourself as the owner of an item, the commands won't exhibit a line of particles indicating you as the owner. However, it functions properly for other entities like wolves.
/execute on originenables you to identify the thrower of an item, whereas the owner cannot be determined using
/execute on.
If you're curious about the Owner property of an item, it determines that only the designated owner can pick it up; other entities are unable to do so.
