Platform
When fighting the ender dragon, melee attacks sometimes don't register at all.
On the middle hitbox where the torso is ubicated, hits don't register from the center of the model towards the tail. Instead, they are only registering near the head, and only on certain weird angles. From what i've seen, the other hitboxes where the head and tail are located seem to be unaffected. Another important thing to say is that wings don't ever register hits (more info in the comments).
Basically, melee attacks done facing to the back or middle of the model don't register, seems to depend on the dragon's or player's position. Arrows however, always register.
