Description:
There is an inconsistency between Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock Edition regarding the behavior of pistons pushing snow blocks. In Bedrock Edition, pushing a snow block with a piston causes snowballs to drop as if the block were broken. However, in Java Edition, pushing a snow block with a piston does not drop any snowballs; the block simply moves without dropping items.
Steps to Reproduce:
Place a snow block.
Place a piston adjacent to the snow block.
Activate the piston to push the snow block.
Observe that no snowballs are dropped in Java Edition.
Repeat the same steps in Bedrock Edition and observe that snowballs do drop.
Expected Behavior:
Pushing a snow block with a piston should drop snowballs in both Java and Bedrock Editions, ensuring consistent gameplay mechanics across editions.
Environment:
Minecraft Java Edition
Platform: Windows
Environment
Windows 11 Pro
