Clarification regarding Entities and Offset?

[devmattrick]

In the spec, it says:

The position of the entity relative to the [0, 0, 0] position of the schematic (without the offset applied).

Am I correct in assuming this means Pos for entities doesn't take the Offset value into account at all? Is there a reason for this, I can't really imagine a scenario where someone would want entities to not be placed at offseted positions. I understand tools could just apply the transformation before saving the schematic but it seems like an odd choice if I'm understanding it correctly?

Specifies the relative offset of the schematic from the paster. When pasting, if there is a reasonable location to use as a base position, implementations SHOULD offset the location of the paste by this vector. The default value if not provided is [0, 0, 0]. Example: If a player is pasting from 1, 2, 3, and the offset is 4, 5, 6, then the first block should be placed at 5, 7, 9

The position of the entity relative to the [0, 0, 0] position of the schematic (without the offset applied).

I think this most likely means that the entities Pos value is stored relative to the corner of the schematic, and then gets added to the offset + the "pasters" location when actually being pasted into the world.
