Detailed description of a problem

I was trying to get the bot to the middle of a water pool, by walking it over a boat, and it wasn't moving. I eventually teleported the bot to where I wanted it and it started walking backwards.
The physics of the bot doesn't support walking on to boats, and instead treats them as walls.

Your current code

// note: replaced chat handling with the code I used in the video
const mineflayer = require('mineflayer')
const bot = mineflayer.createBot({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 44741,
  username: 'SentryBuster',
  auth: 'offline'
})
bot.once('login',()=>{
  bot.settings.skinParts.showCape = false
  var flipped = false;
  setInterval(()=>{
    let skinparts = bot.settings.skinParts;
    // skinparts.showJacket = flipped;
    // skinparts.showLeftSleeve = flipped;
    // skinparts.showRightSleeve = flipped;
    // skinparts.showLeftPants = flipped;
    // skinparts.showRightPants = flipped;
    skinparts.showHat = flipped;
    flipped=!flipped
    bot.setSettings(bot.settings);
  },250)
})
bot.on('spawn',()=>{
  bot.setControlState('forward',true);
  setTimeout({
    bot.setControlState('forward',false);
    bot.setControlState('back',true);
  },250)
})

Expected behavior

I expect the bot to walk onto the boat, just like it does for slabs and stairs.

Additional context

I searched the issues and found a similar issue (#228) about the bot having issues with block collision boxes, but no mention of entities.

I definitely could modify the bot to jump, and it was only for the bot to get to the middle of the water pool, but I feel like it'd be good to make an issue about this, if anyone else encounters it, or if it becomes a bigger problem in the future. This is an edge case and may not be worth fixing.
