The Bug
FallingBlock
entities such as sand and gravel can occasionally glitch when blown by a wind charge while bobbing on a bubble column. This is most likely a client-server desync glitch.
Rejoining the world fixes the issue.
How to Reproduce
Note: This could take multiple attempts to reproduce successfully.
Dig a hole around 5 blocks deep, and place soul sand at the bottom. Fill the hole with water so that each block is a source block. If done correctly, bubble particles should show at the top.
Place a gravity-affected block such as sand into the topmost water source block. It should start bobbing on the water.
Using wind charges, shoot at the
FallingBlock
entity.❌ Note how sometimes, the entity will glitch.
