Hi, I saw a fix somewhere that said mobs now have their hit range fixed, so they can hit above them. I think this has affected my zombification system. I have a zombie in a Minecart, the level below my villagers. I had leaves blocking the zombie from the villagers and used to just punch out the leaves of the villager I wanted zombie. This was working fine before the fix. Now, the zombie can hit the villagers up and through the leaves. So I changed them for trapdoors. The zombies can hit through them too. So I changed the block to glass, but same story. Finally I just tried wool but he can still hit my villagers when they are sleeping, or just close to the back wall. I don't get hit by the zombie, even if I stand right next to them.

teps to Reproduce:
1. Have a Minecart with a zombie in it, one block down and one block back from villagers. Place a leaf block or glass block to block off access to villager bed when villager sleeps. Remove the glass block or leaf block of the villager you want to convert and activate powered rail to set zombie on its journey around the village
2.the zombie can also hit through closed trapdoors and even solid block - as I tried this to, just to see what would happen.
3.
Observed Results:
The zombie is able to hit any of the villagers, even if there's a leaf block or glass block blocking the zombie off, as the zombie is now hitting up through the floor? Zombie does not hit player when I stand in same place as villager
Expected Results:
Only the villager with its leaf/glass block should be hit by the Minecart zombie. This is what happened before the recent update that allowed zombies to hit upwards. Affects latest version but I'm not sure of the number cos it changed yesterday.
My apologies for the delay. This issue started when bedrock was updated to 1.16.210.Mobs
All mobs that use a melee attack have had their ability to hit targets above and below them restored
The target still must be within melee attack distance to be hit
This only affects world versions greater than or equal to 1.16.210
Hi thanks for testing this. I'm on Android so asked my husband to test on xbox. We found the zombie was hitting through the diagonal as it passed by on the Minecart, on the way to its intended victim. A stationary zombie in a Minecart can not hit through the glass but a travelling zombie can hit through the edge of the block. We're now going to try a whole row of glass blocks, to see if it's just on the side edges. This might be a game mechanic, but before the change to melee distance attacks from zombies, they couldn't hit through the diagonal whilst travelling in a Minecart.
My village is in a square, around a golem killing field/farm. The zombie travels around the back of the villagers cubby holes, one block lower than their beds. Originally I would remove the glass block from behind the bed of the chosen villager, flip the zombie powered line and he'd go around and around until that chosen villager got infected. I'd then depower his line until the cure was complete and pop the villagers blocking glass behind his bed.
