Fireball hitbox too big

Resolved

The bug

Apparently fireballs have a "too big" hitbox.

How to reproduce

  1. /summon fireball ~ ~ ~ {direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0]}

  2. Move above the fireball

  3. Press F3+b to show the hitboxes

  4. Hit next to the fireball outside of the hitbox
    → The fireball still gets punched

Another bug is that it renders incorrectly. When you are above, it is rotated but not shifted (see screenshot). The red point shows the position where it should actually get rendered.

Is this still an issue in the most recent versions (i.e. 1.10.2, or 16w42a) of Minecraft?

Yes.

Would fixing this bring back MC-3367?

Maybe partwise but the larger hitboxes existed while the report you mentioned had not been fixed, so I assume there was a different problem as well.

Confirmed for 1.13.1.

The rendering issue is a dupe of MC-158734 Thrown projectile sprites are not centered correctly - Jira (mojang.com)
