Mob Grinding Utils area boxes are culled prematurely
embeddedt opened this issue · 2 comments
Describe the bug
Entity Culling does not take the area-of-effect box from Mob Grinding Utils blocks into account, leading to them being culled unnecessarily. Perhaps all blocks from the mod should just be blacklisted?
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Place a fan from Mob Grinding Utils facing upwards.
- Open the fan's GUI.
- Click 'Show Area'.
- Close the GUI.
- Look upwards.
- Observe that the fan disappears.
Expected behavior
The box should be visible even if the fan block isn't. This works without Entity Culling installed.

Let me know if you need additional information; as a fellow developer myself, I understand your frustration with vague bug reports.
Update: I've found that adding mob_grinding_utils to tileEntityCachedBoundingBoxBlacklist in the config fixes the issue; this should likely be the default as the block changes its bounding box depending on whether the option is enabled or not.
Is there possibly an efficient trick the mod could use to invalidate its cache automatically when a tile entity is updated? Perhaps every time a GUI is opened or closed? I suspect this will affect any machine-like mod with area-of-effect boxes as well.
