Diamond Hitbox

Every mob in Minecraft is a box. The enderman is a tall thin one, so you hit air beside it. The spider is a flat wide one, so you hit air under it. Diamond Hitbox throws that box away and uses the mob’s model instead: the actual cubes on your screen, in the pose they’re in.

Hit the arm, you hit the arm. Aim at the gap between a spider’s legs and your arrow goes through it.

It works on modded mobs too, and there’s no list of them anywhere. The shape is taken from whatever the game draws, so a creature from another mod is handled the day you install it. Nothing to configure.

A few other things it fixes on the way: mobs can’t reach you through a wall any more, your own hitbox follows your model when you crouch, swim or fly an elytra, and a boat is finally boat-shaped.

Press F3+B to see it. White is the old box, cyan is what you actually hit now.
