[MC-3904] Signs under blocks

Signs go through blocks if they are placed as shown in the picture. If this is a duplicate I did a search on things related to this, so sorry if it is.

UPDATE: Just noticed this seems to be due to the sign hitbox.
UPDATE 2: Added extra photo demonstrating height of sign.

Signs are simply higher than 1 m == 1 block...

Yeah, I realised. But still, this should be fixed, as it cuts off the top line of text.

Signs should be lower if the game guesses that a block is placed right over it.

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w04b? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Confirmed for 14w30c but probably intended and won't get fixed 😞

Confirmed in 1.8.2-pre6.

It's a sign.

KingSupernova 2016-03-27T03:28:25Z

Is it really not possible to fix this? All that needs to be done if slightly shorten the length of the sign post.

to show that lower signs would definitely not look bad. The values are the rendering offsets in y direction used in the net.minecraft.client.renderer.tileentity.TileEntitySignRenderer.renderTileEntityAt(TileEntitySign, double, double, double, float, int) method. The method net.minecraft.client.gui.inventory.GuiEditSign.drawScreen(int, int, float) would have to be changed accordingly.
