[Box2D] Dynamic body floating over static bodies

Engines, Libraries and Tools
#1

I am creating a platformer, and I’m having some trouble understanding/setting Box2D correctly. Right now my issue is that the player, which is constructed using a dynamic body, is stopping in mid-air right above my platforms, which are static bodies. He doesn’t hit the platform. A screenshot of what I mean:

As you can see, the player is floating on top of the platform. If you look closely, you can see a little dot where the corner of the hitbox is colliding with the platform, but no matter what I try I cannot get the player to actually hit the platform. I’ll show my code now.

This is how I create the player:

public static Body getDynamicBody(World world, float x, float y, float width, float height) {
		BodyDef def = new BodyDef();
		def.type = BodyType.DynamicBody;
		def.position.set(x * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX, y * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX);
		
		Body body = world.createBody(def);
		body.setFixedRotation(true);
		
		PolygonShape shape = new PolygonShape();
		shape.setAsBox((width / 2) * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX, (height / 2) * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX);
		
		FixtureDef fixture = new FixtureDef();
		fixture.shape = shape;
		fixture.density = 1;

		body.createFixture(fixture);
		
		shape.dispose();
		
		return body;
	}

And then rendering the player:

@Override
	public void render(SpriteBatch batch) {
		Sprite sprite = (Sprite) body.getUserData();
		sprite.setSize(width, height);
		float width = (sprite.getWidth() / 2) * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX;
		float height = (sprite.getHeight() / 2) * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX;
		sprite.setPosition((body.getPosition().x - width) * Game.BOX_TO_WORLD, (body.getPosition().y - height) * Game.BOX_TO_WORLD);
		sprite.draw(batch);
	}

Here is how I create the platform:

public static Body getStaticBody(World world, float x, float y, float width, float height) {
		BodyDef def = new BodyDef();
		def.position.set(x * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX, y * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX);

		Body body = world.createBody(def);
		
		PolygonShape shape = new PolygonShape();
		shape.setAsBox((width / 2) * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX, (height / 2) * Game.WORLD_TO_BOX);
		body.createFixture(shape, 0.0f);
		
		FixtureDef fixture = new FixtureDef();
		fixture.shape = shape;

		body.createFixture(fixture);
		
		shape.dispose();
		
		return body;
	}

And rendering is the same as the player. I update the Box2D like this:

world.step(1.0f / 60f, 5, 8);

And rendering it:

debugRenderer.render(world, getMain().getDebugCamera().combined.cpy().scale(Game.BOX_TO_WORLD, Game.BOX_TO_WORLD, 1));

Why would my player be floating above the platform?
