Stacking animated Sprites and collision boxes within a CharacterBody2D

This should be literally as simple as adding multiple collision shapes as children to your CB.
Joints only make sense to use when there's at least one Rigidbody involved.

I wasn't sure if there was something that handled positioning of the sprites/collision boxes better than having to manually figure out the offsets and positioning (e.g. something like what a VBoxContainer does for Controls)

The only thing I can think of atm that could do stacking semi automatically is shape casting downwards to find the last valid position before a given shape would collide with an existing one
