I've noticed recently that if you use a small skin on the character creator, you have a smaller hitbox, by playing on some PVP servers. It's actually becoming a viable strategy to win, due to the user of the skin, having a smaller hitbox, which makes them harder to hit with projectiles, and makes them harder to combo, due to the fact that a normal sized player has to look slightly downward in order to hit them, making combo starters harder. This is unfair for other players who just have a normal skin in PVP. Due to how range works in minecraft, (most melee range, when looking straight), and the fact that normal sized players have too look down to hit small sized player's, meanwhile smoll b0is look straight, this may hypothetically give them more range.
My solution to this, is to give all players the same hitboxes and hurtboxes, no matter their skin size.
Edit: A few days after posting this thread I got another idea to solve the issue, but it isn't very good tho. Players with small skins could be dealt more knockback than regular sized players as well, to make comboing them actually possible but IDK I like first idea.

Another edit: Soooo... ummmmm yeah, I've been messing around doing PVP against a bunch of smoll boi players, and it turns out that, if u have a normal sized skin, than u can't combo smoll bois at all. Yep, having a small character creator skin, is way more of an advantage than I thought.

Exploits in maps or physics engines are completely understandable, but skins are for expressing yourself. Making it bannable to wear small skins disallows individuality.

Well, it's there fault for being warned or kick/ban since they used small skins. Plus it's just a game BTW

it's a completely different thing, what he means by small skins is both hitboxes and skins are small it's because of that new charachter creator or whatever you wanna call it
