What you want is setBlockBounds.

SetBlickBounds(0,0,0,1F,1F,1F) is a full cube.

SetBlockBoubds(0,0,0,1F,0.5F,1F) is a half.cube and so on...

Don't forget the thankyou button

Hi Jacky2611

 

if you looked at my code you would see i already have that in my code

 

setBlockBounds(0.3F, 0.0F, 0.3F, 0.7F, 4.0F, 0.7F);

 

regards

Jeremy

How big is your model in pixel? 1 block =16px

[jeremy450]

it is 64px

 

at the moment my hitbox/mousebox is only at 1 block high. if i want o break it i have to go to the bottom of the block to break it. want to be able to break it anyway on the block

[jeremy450]

Hope you understand what i am meaning

You cannot have a block with a hitbox larger than 1 block -- you will need to use tile entities and a multiblock structure to accomplish what you are trying to do.  This is due to the way minecraft looks up the hitbox -- it has no way of knowing that when you are looking at a given X,Y,Z that you really want to pull up and use the hitbox from the block located at X,Y-1,Z.

[jeremy450]

how would i do that?

Bump i need help with something like this too. :'(

Actually I think you can override a block collision block to custom size, but it is done dynamically when the collision bounding boxes are set, it is not a fixed field for the block.  You do this by @Overriding the addCollisionBoxesToList method and

 

@Override
public void addCollisionBoxesToList(World par1World, int par2, int par3, int par4, AxisAlignedBB par5AxisAlignedBB, List par6List, Entity par7Entity) {
    // change the parameters below to what you want
    super.addCollisionBoxesToList(par1World, par2, par3, par4, par5AxisAlignedBB, par6List, par7Entity);
}

 

You can do interesting things with this, like changing the bounding box depending on entity type (this could create mod-resistant force field).
