[MC-191922] Mobs Die After Falling 23.5 Blocks

I'm trying to make a mob farm, but after testing, mobs die after falling 23.5 blocks on half-slabs.

In those pictures, I dropped a zombie from the pillar on to those half slabs. This happens with Creepers and Skeletons as well.

This also happens on 1.15.2 as well.

Have you checked if they are maybe jumping at the top, adding an extra block to their fall damage?

No, they don't jump at the top. I'm spawning them in and then having them fall directly down.

Please provide a screenshot of your spawner setup, and please also make sure you did not miscount.

Ok i've added a picture of the spawner, and I did check and it is 24 blocks from the hoppers. and they do still die with the halfslabs in place at the bottom.

I'm not quite following the setup, how is the fall dampened from the mobs spawning on the upper layers?

thats not the point of it, yes mobs will fall from the top layers, but not too often. I'm talking about the mobs that fall from the water.

And are you absolutely certain you did not miscount? Please also provide a screenshot of the setup with your F3 debug screen enabled.
