Forcing non-full blocks to have full-block collision boxes for cannoning purposes

[LogicMia]

[Not necessarily buying anything yet, more looking for information on how this could be accomplished.]

I'm looking to force blocks such as fences and other non-full blocks to have full-block-hitboxes towards the end that they don't break sand upon contact (horizontally hitting them, not vertically being dropped onto of them). This is for a factions server. By default, sand shot out of a cannon that hits the side of a fence or other non-full block will break. I would like fences to be treated as a full block with a 1x1x1 hitbox such that sand hits the block and falls normally as it would if it'd been shot at cobblestone.

This is something I know other servers have figured out, but for whatever reason I haven't been able to find a fix anywhere. How easy would implementing something like this be? Are there any free patches for this out there, or other Spigots with an option in their config to make this happen? If not, how much (ballpark) would it take to get something like this written?

Looks good initially, at a first glance though I have two questions.

• When you say "Make sand stack on blocks", you're referring to sand shot at these blocks, not just dropped onto of - correct?
• Also, the three items listed are not the only items that can be configured to allow sand to stack when shot at them, correct? There are a good handful of other blocks I have in mind. Would this resource allow me to configure which blocks (of any selection of mine) should allow stacking?

Thanks either way for the response and your time.

Yes, it fixes all blocks including soul sand, cobble walls, etc. However, EraCore only patches sand stacked on top of the blocks. If you want sand to collide with blocks from the top and side you can check out my custom spigot fork designed for factions called "FactionSpigot" or just PM me.

I'll do that - thanks.

Just giving a new member whom I’ve known for about a year and a half a vouch and that he is looking to improve said server of which I also play lol

Why would it be necessary to vouch for that?
