Custom entity collider

[blazing tartan]

I made Jumppads that can be angled into a certain axis and needed a proper collider for them, so I took matter into my own hands and hijacked Minecraft's code to handle more than one box collider per entity.

You were the user Who had the problem about the hitbox?

[blazing tartan]

yes

it's still a bit broken, sometimes the collision doesn't register for some reason. but getting there 🙏

[candid folio]

You have made a greate advancement huh

Its cool

Congrats

I have been trying to do something like this for a while then I gave up and work on a compromise

[blazing tartan]

maybe i'll turn this bit here into its own api or coremod

it would be just a matter of a custom entity implementing an interface that has something like List<VoxelShape> getColliders()

Just collision, or also hitboxes?
I would love that! The way DragonParts are handled currently is pain to re-implement.

YES PLEASE bc I have an entity I want to make using this exact tech but stopped bc it was too hard

[blazing tartan]

hitboxes too i should hope. i only used this to implement collision for now

now rotate it around y axis

Never bothered to actually post about it, but this is what I got from trying to implement something close enough. I use it for my Useless Reptile mod and so far works fine (at least in terms of crashes)
