Class BoundingBox

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable, ConfigurationSerializable

    public class BoundingBox
    extends Object
    implements Cloneable, ConfigurationSerializable
    A mutable axis aligned bounding box (AABB).

    This basically represents a rectangular box (specified by minimum and maximum corners) that can for example be used to describe the position and extents of an object (such as an entity, block, or rectangular region) in 3D space. Its edges and faces are parallel to the axes of the cartesian coordinate system.

    The bounding box may be degenerate (one or more sides having the length 0).

    Because bounding boxes are mutable, storing them long term may be dangerous if they get modified later. If you want to keep around a bounding box, it may be wise to call clone() in order to get a copy.

      • contains

        public boolean contains​(double x,

        Checks if this bounding box contains the specified position.

        Positions exactly on the minimum borders of the bounding box are considered to be inside the bounding box, while positions exactly on the maximum borders are considered to be outside. This allows bounding boxes to reside directly next to each other with positions always only residing in exactly one of them.

        Parameters:
        x - the position's x coordinates
        y - the position's y coordinates
        z - the position's z coordinates

        Calculates the intersection of this bounding box with the specified line segment.
