This method will return the Block a player is looking at while taking into consideration the AABB of each block in the path.
For example, you can look through the 1/4 space of air in a Stair block and get the block behind it instead of the Stair block you are looking past.

5e3082c7 SPIGOT-4230: Improve legacy block types
Adds an event to fire before an Entity is created, so that plugins that need to cancel
CreatureSpawnEvent can do so from this event instead.
Cancelling CreatureSpawnEvent rapidly causes a lot of garbage collection and CPU waste
as it's done after the Entity object has been fully created.
Mob Limiting plugins and blanket "ban this type of monster" plugins should use this event
instead and save a lot of server resources.
See: https://github.com/PaperMC/Paper/issues/917
CraftBukkit removed their implementation that caused this issue,
switching to Mojang's implementation which doesn't appear to share it. I
already removed the important bit in the last upstream merge, this is
just unused and unnecessary now. So we remove it.
Spigot has patched this issue inside MapIcon, meaning that we no longer need to maintain this patch; Spigots patch also fixes#668 in that it will verify the length of the array, as well as protect against a negative type value being fetched from the array. Only real change is that Spigots patch returns a MapIcon.Type.PLAYER, instead of the RED_MARKER as originally PR'd by Aikar.
