Player Hitbox Fix
by Duuchniuk
Player Hitbox Fix lets cobwebs, rails and minecarts be placed where a player's body would otherwise block them.
What it does
The mod addresses a collision problem in which a player's hitbox stops a block, rail or entity from being placed in a tight space the player is standing in or near. Without the fix, a placement attempt can fail or land on the wrong block, which causes misclicks during fast play. With the mod installed, cobwebs, rails and minecarts can be placed directly through a player's hitbox, so the placement goes to the spot the player is aiming at, even when someone stands in the way.
The change is limited to placement. Background behavior stays close to vanilla, and the adjustment runs on the client only. Players in PvP minigames, redstone builds and other multiplayer settings where precise placement matters are the people this change is for.
Duchessentials is required and must be installed alongside Player Hitbox Fix on Fabric. The mod is published for Fabric only, with 7 release versions 1.21 – 1.21.11, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11. All rights reserved applies, so the mod is not open source.
Key features

Fewer misclicks
Placement goes to the block the player aims at, reducing mistakes caused by a hitbox occupying nearby space.
Close to vanilla
