 Description   

This ticket was highjacked. All of the comments and screenshots do not refer to the original description (which was marked as fixed).
New description:
Arrows trigger wooden buttons without actually touching the button

Original Description
When shooting a button with a arrow it seems like it gets stuck in a block (even when not actually touching the actual button).
Then it reappears at the spot it should be, incase it hits the button the arrow will point straight down on that block no matter what angle its shot at (sometimes it also flips straight like when hitting the button).

Note: This is only tested in singleplayer.

Fix: This bug seems to fix itself when playing in a lower resolution, this might mean that my mac isn't fast enough to see that wooden button is not full-sized and that causes this bug.

Still happening in 15w44b.

Still happening in 15w42a, the arrow hitbox is misaligned.

Comment by George Gates [ 18/Oct/14 ]

Arrow hitbox misalignment in 1.8.1-pre2.
Uploaded two screenshots showing the discrepancy.

Comment by Tintti214 [ 11/Aug/14 ]

Still reproduceable in 14w32d!
Now with the new wireframe hitboxes you can see clearly what is happening, and as Kumasasa mentioned: if the hitbox touches the button, it is pressed.

So I'm not sure what to think of this... Is this a bug?

From the standpoint how it is coded, No.
But from the standpoint of "realism", it is....

Still in 30c.

Comment by Hartspoon [ 03/Mar/14 ]

Still a concern in 14w08a.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 13/Feb/13 ]

Discovered while testing for MC-6989: The hitbox of the arrowy is quite large, if the hitbox touches the button, it is pressed.

Comment by Kumasasa [ 27/Jan/13 ]

Confirmed.

Comment by Catz Book [ 14/Nov/12 ]

That's the problem, the arrow can activate the wooden button on the middle left area and all
the areas below the button.

Please, solve this, I want to create a more accurate target. Thank you very much!
