[MC-81796] The right and left sides of a minecart can visually clip through blocks

The right and left side of the minecart entity model will clip through blocks it is up against.

Steps to Reproduce:

Place down a rail block
Surround the rail in any full cube block
Place/Spawn any minecart variant on the rail

Observed & Expected Results:

❌ - The minecart's model will be visible through blocks despite possibly not being accessible
✔ - The minecart would not clip through the blocks

Screenshots/Videos:

Notes:

While both the right and left side of the minecart can be visible through blocks, only one side will be visibile at a given time for a minecart. This is because the minecart has a relatively random alignment when placed on rails.

Fixing this means making the hitbox wider, which in turn prevents minecarts from going through 1 wide holes. Either that or switching from AABB to OBB, see MC-91376.

I'm not quite sure how expanding the hitbox would fix this, could you clarify?

I ask, because this is a visual issue with the model (unrelated to it's collision), and it's placement on rails. To me, the fix seems to be making sure the minecart's x/z position stays consistent on rails (as right now it differs slightly on the x and z axes), and to shrink the size of the model very slightly so that it does not clip.

Edit: I see what you mean, extending the hotbox to more be a rectangle rather than square. And I agree this is not the right solution. It should still be possible to solve the issue otherwise.
