Hello modders,

 

I am new to modding mc, and I have a problem with custom block hitboxes.

 

I have made a block (The little stone thing, currently called ExampleBlock to test this) with a custom model and it works just fine, but the model is quite a bit smaller than a full block, yet it still has the hitbox of a full block:

 

 

Now, I did a lot of googling and found that, to get a custom hitbox, you need to override getShape().

I did that. Unfortunately, it didn't change anything. I must still be missing something, but I don't know what it is. 

All I want is for the hitbox/outline to be smaller, it can remain a simple box.

 

The block file:

 

package lellian.mc.elementology.common.blocks;

import lellian.mc.elementology.common.EleRegistry;
import net.minecraft.block.*;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.util.math.BlockPos;
import net.minecraft.util.math.shapes.ISelectionContext;
import net.minecraft.util.math.shapes.VoxelShape;
import net.minecraft.world.IBlockReader;
import net.minecraftforge.fml.RegistryObject;

import javax.annotation.Nonnull;

public class ExampleBlock extends Block {
    private static VoxelShape SHAPE = makeCuboidShape(4d, 0d, 4d, 12d, 4d, 12d);

    public static final RegistryObject<net.minecraft.block.Block> EXAMPLE_BLOCK = EleRegistry.registerBlock("example_block",
            () -> new Block(AbstractBlock.Properties
                    .create(Material.ROCK)
                    .hardnessAndResistance(3, 3)
                    .sound(SoundType.STONE)
                    .notSolid()));

    public ExampleBlock(Properties properties) {
        super(properties);
    }

    // Called for class loading.
    public static void register(){};

    @Nonnull
    @Override
    public VoxelShape getShape(BlockState state, IBlockReader worldIn, BlockPos pos, ISelectionContext context) {
        return SHAPE;
    }
}

 

I'm not sure how relevant it is, but here is also:

 

The BlockStateProvider:

 

package lellian.mc.elementology.client.data;

import lellian.mc.elementology.common.Elementology;
import lellian.mc.elementology.common.blocks.EleSimpleBlocks;
import lellian.mc.elementology.common.blocks.ExampleBlock;
import lellian.mc.elementology.common.blocks.MortarAndPestleBlock;
import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.SlabBlock;
import net.minecraft.data.DataGenerator;
import net.minecraftforge.client.model.generators.BlockStateProvider;
import net.minecraftforge.client.model.generators.ModelFile;
import net.minecraftforge.common.data.ExistingFileHelper;

public class EleBlockStateProvider extends BlockStateProvider {
    public EleBlockStateProvider(DataGenerator gen, ExistingFileHelper exFileHelper) {
        super(gen, Elementology.MOD_ID, exFileHelper);
    }

    @Override
    protected void registerStatesAndModels() {
        registerBlockWithBlockItem(EleSimpleBlocks.BLUE_MANA_CRYSTAL_ORE.get());
        registerBlockWithBlockItem(EleSimpleBlocks.GREEN_MANA_CRYSTAL_ORE.get());
        registerBlockWithBlockItem(EleSimpleBlocks.RED_MANA_CRYSTAL_ORE.get());
        registerBlockWithBlockItem(EleSimpleBlocks.WHITE_MANA_CRYSTAL_ORE.get());
        registerBlockWithBlockItem(EleSimpleBlocks.MANA_CRYSTAL_BLOCK.get());

        manualModel(ExampleBlock.EXAMPLE_BLOCK.get(), "example_block");
     //   manualModel(MortarAndPestleBlock.MORTAR_AND_PESTLE.get(), "mortar_and_pestle");
    }

    private void registerBlockWithBlockItem(Block block){
        simpleBlock(block);
        final ModelFile model = models().getExistingFile(block.getRegistryName());
        simpleBlockItem(block, model);
    }

    private void manualModel(Block b, String name) {
        final ModelFile model = models().getExistingFile(modLoc("block/" + name));
        simpleBlock(b, model);

        simpleBlockItem(b, model);
    }
}

 

and the model:

 

{
    "parent": "minecraft:block/block",
    "textures": {
		"0": "minecraft:block/stone",
		"particle": "minecraft:block/stone"
	},
	"elements": [
		{
			"from": [4, 0, 4],
			"to": [12, 4, 12],
			"rotation": {"angle": 0, "axis": "y", "origin": [12, 8, 12]},
			"faces": {
				"north": {"uv": [0, 0, 8, 1], "texture": "#0"},
				"east": {"uv": [0, 3, 8, 4], "texture": "#0"},
				"south": {"uv": [0, 2, 8, 3], "texture": "#0"},
				"west": {"uv": [0, 0, 8, 2], "texture": "#0"},
				"up": {"uv": [0, 0, 8, 8], "texture": "#0"},
				"down": {"uv": [0, 0, 8, 8], "texture": "#0"}
			}
		}
    ]
}    

 

Can somebody help me figure this out?

Any help/idea is appreciated!

You've never use ExampleBlock?

What do you mean?

ExampleBlock is the small stone thing you see in the picture. It gets registered just fine (Via a DeferredRegistry), I can place it and then you see what is in the picture. This is about the hitbox/outline of the block, which I want to be smaller.

Well this is embarrasing. I don't know how I missed this, but it fixed everything.

 

Thank you very much 🤣🔫
