There's not really any way to change the height of a block, unless it's possible with a ton of protocol hacking, which I guarantee cayorion will not do to fix a problem like this (it's a really hard and complicated process)(I'm also not even remotely familiar with the process, so I don't know if it would even be possible). It might be possible to do something like teleport people if they're on top of a lily pad, but I have no idea about the practicality of that.
I feel that this issue arose during the allowance of minecraft versions below 1.9 and eventually 1.10
As you can see, lily-pads had their heights and hitboxes changed in the snapshot versions, and it seems now they are 3/32 blocks tall. Back in 1.8, they were 1/64.
This change is my reasoning behind why lily-pads became the bane of the server. While it is great that PvPers can use 1.8 versions, the change consequently made lily-pads terrible.
I'm pretty sure this is a client version issue, as server hopping on some 1.8 servers and jumping on glass panes and lily-pads gave me the same results.
@Cayorion are there any ideas on what could be done to fix the block height issue of lily-pads?
I have 1.10 and mpm 1.9.4. No optifine or better foliage, so maybe those fix it?
We can relocate the lilypads, I suppose. But it's difficult to even touch them without dying, so we will have to use works and diplomatic means to convince them to leave and go live in unpopulated regions.
perhaps instead of moving the lilypads, we could move the bodies of water they occupy
But that would dislocate the fish, also an inhumane action. Maybe we could ask the lilypads to not send us to hell?
perhaps if we give a daily offering, and worship them as powerful deities, they will protect us instead of krunking us
Are we to organize server events around this, or should this be a personal experience?
Maybe we can hold small events, but I'm afraid they might get nervous if too many people are around.
True....
I personally feel that it is not evil intent that has been shown to us, but instead it is nervous indifference. For who are we to them but mobile annoyances, always doomed to hop upon their unfeeling heads.
