NPC chat bubbles offset

the chat bubbles of NPCs shake when you are moving/jumping next to them
step 1:
build something like this:

step 2:
press C (i already did on the 1st screenshot) and watch the bubble move as youre moving left/right or jumping (without leaving NPC's range to prevent the bubble from disappearing)
or just place 3 arrows beneath yourself and a ceiling block like so:


see the difference in distance between npc guy and chat bubble?

the same thing in horizontal axis:

also i think their chat bubbles should fade away like player chat bubbles do?

Re: NPC chat bubbles offset

Re: NPC chat bubbles offset

lol hi

also trapping yourself in a contraption like the one below will cause the messages to disappear as if you left the NPC's range even though you dont
(i highlighted the NPC range with a red box)

even placing blocks or fire around the red box doesnt change the case

ALSO the NPC range box seems to be assymetrical, the range is 0.5 block shorter on the left than it is on the right and im guessing it will be the same for up/down (did not test though)
