Non-AxisAligned BoundingBoxes?

The Minecraft entity collision code, as I just learned, is sadly lacking. The entity code is configured, by default, to allow a square prism. What if you want a bounding box with custom dimensions? Override setPosition. Easy enough, until you start trying to work with rotation. For example, I'm trying to make a tractor, which is obviously longer than it is wide. I want to allow it to turn. Easy? No, because the bounding box is axis-aligned.

 

I'd like to request, perhaps as a long-term goal, that a non-axisaligned bounding box system be implemented. This would allow for better entity collisions universally.

As all bounding boxes are axis-aligned, the intersection detection (for collision etc) is very easy. if you take a non-axis-aligned bounding box, the complexity of the collision checks increases drastically. So this would be a bad idea as it would harm performance.

      pack.mcmeta and resource pack not recognized

      Update: I stand corrected as I was able to dig up a relevant log from my earlier testing which highlights the overall issue but does not explain how to solve it. See, Diagnostic Logs for pack.mcmeta not found: https://pastebin.com/LXS8Rtna

      Which mod was this? What are all the mods that were in use? It will help if enough information to replicate the problem is available.

      pack.mcmeta and resource pack not recognized

      By Redstone Dreamer · Posted

      I have been attempting to create a supplementary resource pack with Patchouli in order to add back the guidebook for Better End but unfortunately in every prototype I have made pack.mcmeta and my resource pack are not recognized. I have tested both zipped and unzipped and either way curseforge does not recognize my resource pack as existing. For testing I stripped my pack down to just the pack.mcmeta file and two empty folders labelled data and assets and I know the data folder is not the problem as firstly my first attempts just had an assets folder following Patchouli instructions and data came later in my flailing attempts to make anything in my pack work. The mcmeta file is not recognized whether or not I use this:  { "pack": { "pack_format": 15, "description": "A replacement for the BetterEnd Guide Book." } "language": { "en_US": { "name": "English", "region": "United States" } } } ,or this:  { "pack": { "pack_format": 15, "description": "A replacement for the BetterEnd Guide Book." } } I have made sure to only use lowercase and the pack folder is named better-end-guide. Is this some magic nonsense from me doing this manually instead of using an IDE or similar tool? Could it be because my files are by default in UTF-8 even though ANSI gives the same results? Is there a specific community secret tool I am supposed to use for zipping or specific settings? I am pulling my hair in distress. Unfortunately as there are no errors involved I lack logs to offer, if that disqualifies this thread please do not be harsh and instead if you can then please direct me to a forum with different rules and sufficiently respectful but knowledgeable as to be of assistance. Most of my experience with the programming community has been poor and so naturally I find myself wary.
