I placed down various colored carpets to make my house look nice, but when I tried to place a fence post, to hold my horse, the fence post seemed to float as if the carpet was a full block. I tried it on all the other colors the same happened even if I used a different block. Water and lava seemed to act similar. Redstone, string,levers pleasure plates and other items also floated in a similar matter. This defeats the purpose of carpeting.

This is not a bug at all, even thought the hitbox AND apperance would suggest it is not a full block, any block, like beds IN CODE occupies 1 entire block. And, if you are yelling at your screen and yelling "WHAT ABOUT SLABS", slabs are special, in the code the can be place above each over, therefore changing apperance and the hitbox. There is no diffrence in the coded represantation of the space to slabs or double-slab block occupy. So if any block occupies 1 block, and 2 blocks cannot be placed in the same place, there is no way, without COMPLETELY changing block space reconition, that a blok could be placed directly above carpets. Sorry for the long explanation. In oreder to place the block where the carpet is, simply remove the carpet and re-place the block(remove the block, remove the carpet, and place the block where the carpet was)
they could make it like grass when you can place over it, but it pops the carpet back out at you as an item.

2 blocks cannot occupy the same space.
