That's how it normally goes, but they're both pretty much interchangeable if you want.

This just reinforces the point that my jokes are terrible...

I had an idea on how we could let the server know what the bounding boxes are for a block. We simply create a list of boundingboxes in the block handler. Here is kinda what I mean:
BlockHandler.h:
typedef std::vector<cBoundingBox> BoundingBoxes;

/// Returns a list of bounding boxes. For example a cauldron returns 5 because it has 5 faces that are solid but a full block returns 1
virtual BoundingBoxes & GetBoundingBoxes(Vector3i a_Pos);

BlockHandler.cpp:
cBlockHandler::BoundingBoxes & cBlockHandler::GetBoundingBoxes(Vector3i a_Pos)
{
	cBlockHandler::BoundingBoxes BBS;
	
	if (cBlockInfo::IsSolid(m_BlockType))
	{
		cBoundingBox BB(a_Pos, 1, 1);
		BBS.push_back(BB);
	}

	return BBS;
}

Then when the server needs to know if an entity is in a block it loops through the list and checks if the bounding boxes intersect with the bounding box of an entity. This method would be usefull for for example a cauldron since it's more like a hollow block.


EDIT:

Another idea is to let the blockhandler itself check if an entity is inside.

Not a bad idea! At least it would make the plugin development a lot easier and also the regular development Smile though I can't think of much of a usage Wink. Could you explain that a little more?

Well for example thanks to this we could throw items directly agains fences instead of stopping the item in front it

Oh yes! And we also would be able to punch them through Smile

I don't think that would work if you have a different texture pack thoughTongue

No, that was not what I meant. Isn't it possible to throw items over a fence?
Thanks given by:
You need to think this one through properly, though - you don't want to create a vector of bounding boxes for each and every block in the chunk - there's 64Ki blocks per chunk!

Yes, I think this might be a bigger project and really needs proper planning.
