When any block affected by gravity tries to land on a space at Y-level 0, it breaks as if it fell on a torch instead of solidifying normally. The block the falling sand entity tries to land on doesn't matter as long as it is located at Y-level -1.
I have tested this using gravel, sand, and an anvil. All three trigger the bug, and the anvil makes a breaking sound, but does not take any damage in the process.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Place a solid block at Y-level -1 for the gravity-related block to land on.
2) Place the gravity block at Y-level 1. After some testing, I have noticed that I can only reproduce this bug if the block falls down 1 space.
3) When landing at Y=0, it should break as an item instead of properly placing itself.

Does MC-238959 describe your issue?
Ah, yes it does. Not sure how I didn't notice that, but that's the exact bug I've been experiencing.
Apologies for that, but thanks for letting me know! Glad to know that Mojang already knows about it.
Yes, I realize this is a duplicate of MC-241843. However, when I was redirected to Discord in order to notify staff about the bug, I was unable to post any messages, and I don't have a Reddit account either.
Since version 1.18's official release is planned to be 10 days from when I made this post, I decided the best way to navigate around my issues is to post another bug report. I realize that this is not the ideal solution, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. However, I have been rather busy studying for exams, and I am worried that if I spent time to try to fix the issues I'm having on discord or create a Reddit account, I would not be able to notify anyone without giving an ample amount of time to fix this bug.
With that said, I thank you for taking your time to look at my concerns regarding this bug, and best of luck on fixing it!
