Jumping from the center of soul sand makes the player jump only about 2 blocks, but jumping from the edge allows the player to jump 3 blocks.
In the video, it is shown that I can make a 3 block jump from the far edge of soul sand, but I cannot even make a 2 block jump if I make my jump while my hitbox is in the middle of the block, even though this jump is technically closer to me. I also feel slower while in mid air when trying the second jump.
Expected result: Player should always have the reduced jump even when starting the jump off of the edge.

After some testing, I don't think i can reproduce this same bug without sprinting.
Although it kind of seems that if I do sprint, the sprint seems to not be added mid air if I start on the far side of the block. Though I could be wrong.
Can't replicate while making sure I don't spring forward in mid air. I can't even make a 3 block jump without sprinting.
As weird as it is, sprinting can be 'added' when mid air. Can you confirm you have done this without engaging sprinting?
