Bug description

When trying to use the caret notation for local coordinates in /tp, I get the result : 'Error : For input string "^"'

Steps to reproduce

Run /tp ^ ^ ^5

Expected behaviour

I should be teleported 5 blocks forward in the direction I'm looking at

Actual behaviour

I get 'Error : For input string "^"' and nothing happens

This isn't really a bug, as Essentials currently doesn't support (nor has it ever) carets in any teleportation commands. The teleport command in vanilla supports this however, which you can use by running /minecraft:tp instead of Essentials' /tp.

If I'm not mistaken, you can use ~ in place of ^ in EssentialsX teleport commands. It should have the same (or very similar) effect.

They're not quite the same, caret notion represents local coordinates (based on where the player's camera is facing), where the tilde notation represents relative world coordinates.

We could probably add support for caret notion, I'll move this to a feature request for now

[MetaZ9]

I'll be grateful for that. In fact, we could always use the vanilla Minecraft commands by prefixing them or disabling the relevent Essentials commands if we want to use caret notation; but I find this rather troublesome and not really efficient or relevant in this case
Thanks for the answer
