Hitbox of slime and magma cube is offset for some seconds

Can reproduce with

/summon Wolf ~ ~3 ~ {Age:-2000}

Please link to this comment in the description

The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.10 using MCP 9.30.

The reason for this is that the method net.minecraft.entity.Entity.setSize(float, float) sets the bounding box based on the min values of the current bounding box. This means if the entity becomes smaller, its hitbox is offset in -x and -z direction; if it becomes larger its hitbox is offset in +x and +z direction. The case in which an entity becomes larger is handled by moving the entity in the according direction, however in case it becomes smaller the hitbox remains offset.

I would suggest centering the hitbox on the current position of the entity instead.

Suggested change (MCP 9.30, Minecraft 1.10)

protected void setSize(float width, float height)
{
    if (width != this.width || height != this.height)
    {
        // Replaced this
        //float f = this.width;
        //this.width = width;
        //this.height = height;
        //AxisAlignedBB axisalignedbb = this.getEntityBoundingBox();
        //this.setEntityBoundingBox(new AxisAlignedBB(axisalignedbb.minX, axisalignedbb.minY, axisalignedbb.minZ, axisalignedbb.minX + (double)this.width, axisalignedbb.minY + (double)this.height, axisalignedbb.minZ + (double)this.width));
        //
        //if (this.width > f && !this.firstUpdate && !this.worldObj.isRemote)
        //{
        //    this.moveEntity((double)(f - this.width), 0.0D, (double)(f - this.width));
        //}
         this.width = width;
         this.height = height;
         double halfWidth = width / 2d;

         this.setEntityBoundingBox(new AxisAlignedBB(this.posX - halfWidth, this.posY, this.posZ - halfWidth, this.posX + halfWidth, this.posY + height, this.posZ + halfWidth));
    }
}

Note: One problem which existed before and will still exist is that in case the entity becomes larger its hitbox might afterwards intersect with blocks allowing it to clip through them.

Confirmed for 16w41a: When baby mobs (e.g. Villagers) are in a confined space (e.g. 1x1 tube) they can gllitch out of it as soon as they grow up.

Thanks for the link to the correct bugpost, @unknown }=)

Relates to MC-9568

Related. Apparently the same thing happens for one tick after growing up.

Still in 1.14.1 Release

Still in 1.14.2 Pre-Release 1 and 1.14.2 Pre-Release 2

Fixed according to @unknown.

No, this is not fixed. The issue can be seen clearly following the reproduction steps. Nothing has changed here.

I found the issue why I couldn't reproduce it before: Apparently their hitbox now corrects itself as soon as they move. And because they normally start jumping pretty quickly after spawning, it can only be seen properly with NoAI.

Also, they can not suffocate because of this, even though it's not just a visual issue (persists after reloading).
