Accurate Hitboxes

by VortexCombat

For players and servers that want attacks to match what is drawn, Accurate Hitboxes swaps the broad vanilla hit area for hitboxes taken from each entity's visible model.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.20.3

What it does

Vanilla collision uses a single bounding box per entity, while Accurate Hitboxes builds hitboxes from the 3D model parts. Attacks and projectiles must intersect that model geometry to register, and the hitboxes follow animation, rotation and scaling, including baby versions of scaled entities. Many modded entities get per-part hitboxes they lack in vanilla, and GeckoLib 4 models are supported when GeckoLib is installed.

The mod is installed on both sides, because the server and every player must run the same version for hit detection to agree. Dedicated servers receive the model-derived hitboxes through synchronization. Blacklist and whitelist modes control which entities use the new hitboxes, and single-player players can set their own lists, while on multiplayer servers the entity rules are set by the server administrator in its configuration file.

Fabric API is required on Fabric. The current release targets Minecraft 1.20.1, and builds for 1.20.2 and 1.20.3 are also published. Accurate Hitboxes is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The mod works with TaCZ bullet compatibility on Forge and NeoForge 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Model-derived hitboxes

    Hitboxes are built from the visible model of each entity, so the hit area matches the drawn shape instead of one box.

  2. Per-part and animated hitboxes

    Individual model parts get their own hitboxes, and they move with the model's animation, rotation and scaling.

  3. In-game configuration menu

    A menu opened through the mod's key lets players change the debug outline color, bounding-box visibility and entity-list rules.

  4. Debug outlines

    Per-part debug outlines can be shown with F3+B to check how each hitbox sits on its model.
