getEntitiesInAABB does not include custom entity when I resize it

[fruehlingsrollen]

I have a custom entity that resizes accordingly to it's contents inside.

I checked if the bounding box of the entity is correct after the resize and it is, the real problem is when I check for getEntitiesInAABB.
With IntelliJ breakpoints I inspected the code and Chunk::getEntitiesWithinAABBForEntity does not find my custom entity, even when my player is right in it's bounding box.
Whenever I spawn my entity without resizing it's contents the AABB check works fine, it only appears once I resize my entity and update it's bounding box. I really can't
explain why this is happening and my only solution would be to check if the player is inside any of the custom entities at any given time, for that I would need access
to every loaded entity in the world though, and I haven't found anything for that either.

Help would be great! If you need any specific code snippets Im glad to share them

Your question is unanswerable if you don't show the code.

 

I can tell you that you need to call entity.refreshDimensions() to allow the game to recalculate everything size related after you change something that affects the dimensions.

e.g. the game calls that method when an Ageable mob changes from a baby to an adult.

Okay so I've found the solution, thanks warjort because you led me to the assumption that I had to somewhere update the chunks that keep track of the entity.

I took a look at Entity::resetPositionToBB and it had the line "if (this.isAddedToWorld() && !this.world.isRemote && world instanceof ServerWorld) ((ServerWorld)this.world).chunkCheck(this);"
which is the solution to all my problems, so I just added it into my setPosition Override.
