PathFinder status

Jammet: I'll check it out.

I am currently trying to implement bounding boxes, and I am getting the impression that the physics engine always assumes the mob width is 1, for instance: Spiders can move in 1-block wide corridors. Creating a spider and breaking the block beneath it makes it fall in a 1 block wide hole. Is my impression correct?

I believe what I stated above is correct. I forced the PathFinder to assume a bounding box width of 1, and all the problems I had with bounding boxes disappeared. Apparently the PathFinder and Physics engine were not in sync and forcing a width of 1 made them work in harmony.

The PathFinder PR I'm going to submit is capable of handling any int bounding box width, but because of the physics engine constraints I'll make the PathFinder assume a mob width of 1.

To be honest, the game is working perfectly fine even with that assumption, so fixing that aspect of the physics engine is low priority, and perhaps it should never be fixed because it needlessly complicates things. The only difference I can see is that spiders can fit in 1-block wide corridors.

Never be fixed? That would be saddening. Players use every aspect to MC to their advantage. You have no idea how many times the fact that spiders can't fit through 1 block holes has saved my life.
