Rising vertical pistons can clip mobs through blocks

Problem

Mobs or players standing on block, attached with double sticky piston facing upwards, cause them to glitch through blocks. This happens even if there's no ceiling blocks obstructing them.

How to reproduce

  1. Build a contraption shown on images.

  2. Place any mobs or minecart on the block where sticky pistons will push up

  3. Power the contraption.

  4. ❌  Mobs and minecart remains underneath the block, represented by image.

What to expect

Entities should be on top of the gold block in the image after running.

Test

This bug is tested in Minecraft 1.16.5 and Minecraft 1.17 vanilla. Simulated in The Void preset(superflat) and 2 default worlds.

If this bug is fixed, won't it provide an additional way for players to glitch through the bedrock ceiling in the Nether?

I don't think that follows from this bug. This bug happens when two pistons rapidly extend, even if there's no ceiling obstructing them.

@unknown You use zero-ticking?
Some people in the community would not be happy if Mojang would remove those.
Rephrased: The bug showcased here that entities fall through blocks has a different cause to what's in your title and bugpost description.

An example of entities falling through blocks that is piston-specific is MC-197226, you don't have to zero-tick the pistons, but have to have a block above the entity.

Can confirm in 23w41a:

This looks to actually duplicate MC-159503, just with a double piston setup instead of a single piston.
