Hi - is this the only way to edit the collision box of a model?

For blocks, just use the "collision box tab" in MCreator while creating it.

For entities use setSize()

where is the "collision box tab"?

@#2 at the first page when creating a block, on the right, there are some values (0, 0, 0 and 1, 1, 1).

Those 1, 1, 1 means that the collision box of the block is as big as 1 minecraft block.

Play with those values to find the collision box you need

Thanks Kane.

From what I can understand these values allow you to resize a single box/cube, which gets me part of the way. I'm trying to build a bridge block so could do with something more 'U' shaped, I'm thinking along the lines of the 'Mesh Collider' options in Unity.

@#3 for that you need quite advanced coding skills and I cannot help D:

Thanks again Kane

I'm more an artist so have been avoiding learning code for Minecraft mods, but it looks like I'll have to bite the bullet. No idea where to begin, so can anyone recommend any good websites to start off with?

@#4 I know a good site to learn java basics, but I have to get home to get the link D: (tomorrow I can send it to you), then I remember there were good tutorials on YouTube to learn first steps with minecraft coding

I thought of a work-around for my Bridge Block this morning. I've built a simple slab block to walk on and four seperate Blocks for the rails, one facing North, South etc.. That way I can use the simple MCreator Box Collider for each.
