while you Can, unfortunately without a resource pack you can't make them fully invisible, so a slime is actually a reasonable compromise (especially if you use multiple stacked on top of each other for even more pushing resistance)

I think that shulkers would have been better for the collision of solid blocks. Their collision is just like the collision of a block. The problem with shulkers is that when they are invisible, only their "shell" is invisible, their head isn’t. This is why I think that it is good for the solid blocks and not transparent or non-full block. Good video. =)

[@gneissname]

Yeah I could have used them for the walls any maybe two for the door just positioned so the heads were in the wall and maybe that would be close enough to not squeeze through.

[@supernova4168]

I Did not expect that you respond this quickly (appreciate it). =)

[@jc_art_]

You could probably just make the shulkers slightly smaller than the wall blocks to make them not show through the wall. As for the door, slime might be the best solution.

[@jtw-r]

As someone who has been playing minecraft for 10+ years, two things really stood out to me as impressive: 1) Your creativity, and problem solving 2) The updates mojang have made to the game to make all of this possible in vanilla minecraft.

[@coolepicgame]

my goat (howd you do the barrel and furnace)

[@gneissname]

The little trick there is that there is a normal barrel and furnace in the ground and they are hidden by two grass entities. When I’m clicking on the tiny ones, I’m actually clicking behind them. There are observers under the real blocks and a command block that changes the tiny entities model.

[@CaedmonOS]

[@JTolmar]

The slime collision appears to work by slowly pushing the player, so if you stack multiple slimes in the same spot, you should get more push per frame, and enough at once should feel properly solid.

[@TheStyler2710]

You're such a gem. The tiny door reveal was so funny. What if all doors and walls are just invisible slimes pushing you back and when you push hard enough you'll clip through? I have to try this out

Didn't work

[@e2b265]

I love the prop chicken and coal added into the barrel to make a stack + 1 just to flex the furnace and barrel

[@wChris_]

You could have used boats, as they have solid collision with the player. Shulkers do as well, but they arent completely invisible if you spawn them with invisibility.

6:20 The potion hits the top of the entity. The cloud is spawned on top of the collision point... which means the entity it collided with is underneath the effect-cloud... and it doesn't become invisible. alternatively, rescaled mobs have funky visibility issues

[@huaiscrblol5077]

this is such a fun video, and it was super cool learning about how entities work in Minecraft!

[@tysonbeltran8470]

This video really takes me back to when I was first learning Minecraft command creations! I remember watching videos by SimplySarc and Dragnoz, where they would make a creation that, while simple, totally blows your mind with what you can do with just the vanilla Minecraft features. I like how you used a custom achievement to keep track of whether or not the door was open. I love how you used the slimes as hitboxes. I had no idea that other entities than players could be shrunk with the "scale" tag and still have their hitboxes still work. I also hadn't heard about the "teleport_duration" tag for display entities. Goodness, I learned a lot from this video and the comments! I have a few more comments and questions: Is 1/4096 the limit to how small you can scale down block entities? It looks like 1/16 is the smallest scale that entities can be given, but it looks like you made use of the transformation{scale} tag to scale down the door block entities. I couldn't find anything about the limit for that. Did you just chose 4096 because it was about the limit of what you could easily see with the telescope, or does something break if you try to go smaller? Would an alternative way to implement the door animation be to use the "transformation" tag of block entities? I know from experience that the "transformation" tag is a giant pain to use, but I imagine that you could cut down on a command or two in the datapack by using that. Either way, your solution is way more elegant and satisfying, so nice job! I reckon the reason that the slimes weren't becoming invisible when you splashed them with the potion is that the hitbox for the area effect cloud might have been raised slightly above the block. If I were to guess, that distance would be around half the height of the potion's hitbox. Since the slimes were small enough, they might simply have been out of range to be affected. Lastly, would you be able to summon a few slimes per block in order to make the "hitbox" of the house more "solid?" Looks like other commenters had this idea, too. I'm not sure if it would work, or if it would just make the house super bouncy (maybe it would make you launch back when you touch a few slimes). I'll have to test that sometime. I saw that shulkers might be a viable option too, since they apparently can be scaled down, too. But, like some people in the comments were saying, it seems like a hassle to set up because of the resource pack required to remove the shulker head. Really nice video, Gneiss! I don't know why I wasn't subscribed after your other videos, but I am now!

[@kyrius_gm4]

Yeah you could definitely use shulkers and move them depending on which side of the door you are on to make the hitbox feel perfect

[@NotPhoenic]

As someone who just made custom rotating doors in my datapack, I was incredibly disappointed when you used slimes, if you make a shulker a passenger of something like an air item display, they dont snap to blocks and they provide solid collision. This has the drawback of needing a custom shader to make shulkers fully invisible, but it lets you make interpolated collision boxes Very cool regardless 👍

why not use shulkers for colliders, are they any better or worse? Also in your door open function you use a kill @e[tag=door_open] command to get rid of the trigger entity, but doesn't that mean if you wanted to have another door you would need to give its trigger entity a different name, otherwise after opening one door the code would kill all the door_open triggers on all the other doors and you would only be able to open one door at a time or else code every door to have different entity names?
