The bug
If water is to the side of the block underneath where the sugar cane is going to be placed, said sugar cane will completely ignore the water around it and get placed down. It functions completely normally, even growing, but can sometimes break if you place more sugar cane around it or break sugar cane around it. It does not work if there is no water block surrounding the ground block the sugar cane is on, just like it always acts.
Steps to reproduce
Join a Singleplayer or Multiplayer world
Get some sugar cane and place it in a body of water next to an edge, sort of as if it were in air.
Observed behavior
The sugar cane will be placed even though there is water surrounding it.
Expected behavior
The sugar cane would not be able to be placed as it is underwater.
