How far can a zombie hit?

A zombie’s hitting range is approximately 1.65-1.8 blocks, which is the shortest range compared to players, with the leather fist wrap weapon having a range of 2 blocks, while other melee weapons like the hunting knife, fire axe, and baseball bat have ranges of 2.5 blocks, 3.2 blocks, and 3.2 blocks respectively, and the spear having an impressive range of 4 blocks. The maximum distance a zombie can hit is approximately 1.697 blocks, which can be achieved if the zombie approaches its target from a corner, taking into account the trigonometric calculation of sqrt(0.6^2 + 0.6^2) * 2.
