      The Bug:

      If an arrow is shot from a crossbow which is enchanted with piercing towards an entity that is standing up against a wall, it is able to phase inside, or even through that wall.

      How to reproduce:

      1. Build a wall that is one block thick
      2. Place an item frame on that wall
      3. Fire a piercing crossbow at the item frame
        /give @p minecraft:crossbow[minecraft:enchantments={levels:{"quick_charge":3, "piercing":3}},minecraft:charged_projectiles=[{id:"arrow"}]]
        

      Observed Results:

      The arrow will either phase through the wall, or land inside of the wall depending on the angle it is shot from.

      Expected Results:

      The arrow would kill the item frame entity, and land against the wall.
