This is a collision box-related bug that prevents entity from attacking properly

When a pushable target under attack has a collision box larger than that of the attacker, it triggers a pathfinding blockage that prevents the attacking entity from executing normal attacks

Crucially, irrespective of the attacker's attack range, the attacking entity becomes incapable of executing attacks against its target.

Testing confirms that all pushable entities with oversized collision box consistently exhibit this attack-obstructing bug.

Minecraft creators are hitting game-breaking roadblocks left and right because of this bug - it's gotta be fixed ASAP!
