 * General

 * For example, a ravager won't be able to attack through a few block thick walls.
 * In vertical directions, mobs' attack reach are now the exact vertical range of their bounding box. When there's no overlap between their bounding box and their target's bounding box in vertical direction, they can not attack, in specific:
 * Riding a medium-sized mob (e.g. horse) can get rid of attacks from short mobs (e.g. baby zombie).
 * Riding a tall mob (e.g. camel) can get rid of attacks from standard size mobs (e.g. zombie).
 * Some mob's reaching height now extended (e.g. enderman, safety height changed from 1.5 to 3).
