Block hitboxes are generally too big

Summary:
Various blocks have hitboxes which are too large, which means that they can prohibit access to other blocks.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Punch a single hole in the ground

  2. Place a chest in the hole

  3. Place a standing sign or a fence gate over the chest

  4. Try and open the chest

Observed Results:
The chest cannot be accessed because the hitbox for the sign and/or the fence gate it that of a full sized block.

Expected Results:
You hitboxes should be smaller for certain blocks, listed below.

Screenshots/Videos attached: Yes (please see attached test world too)

Notes:
These blocks have hitboxes which are too large, and have been compared to the Java version:
Updated for 1.5.0.1 beta:

  • Piston Arm

These blocks have now had their hitboxes fixed:

  • Standing Sign

  • Anvil

  • Fence Gate

  • Brewing stand (top part only)

  • Single Glass Pane

  • Single Iron Bar

  • Fully grown crops (eg Carrots)



Please see attached test world for working examples of these

nb. The following blocks also have hitboxes which I consider too large, but may be working as intended as they have the same hitboxes as the latest Java version: Hopper, string, cauldron, bed, cobweb.

Here's another example: This chest cannot be opened, as the gate's hitbox gets in the way.

0.14.3 Case in point: This Chest cannot be opened because the sign's hitbox is too large.

Updated affected versions. Another example of hitboxes being too large, in this case, string: (MCPE-17457)

This bug has been reported to our internal bug tracker for further testing and a fix. It is scheduled to be fixed in one of the future updates (no specific date can be provided).

Note: At some point the hopper hitbox was changed / fixed for Java edition. See: MC-6435. Be great to see the same fix applied to Bedrock edition.

Can confirm that hitboxes for grass paths, soul sand, and hoppers are still too big in 1.12.0.12

To make this easier to track, please create a new ticket for each hitbox that is not working as designed, where this adversely affects gameplay (for instance hoppers having a large hitbox means that chests underneath cannot be accessed).

For reference, a ticket for the hopper hit box issue now exists at: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-47541

Also relates to MCPE-83258 for the piston body.
