Normally when you attempt to place a block above or below the world, the messages “Height limit for building is 319” or "Minimum height for building is -64” get displayed.
However, there are blocks which you cannot place on the top or bottom of other blocks. For example, a sapling above stone or carpet below a block. Attempting to place either when at both height limits still displays their respective error messages.
Reproduction Steps (below y -64):
Go to y -64 and break through the bedrock
While below the world, attempt to place a carpet below the bottom bedrock layer
Expected result: No error message, as no carpet would have normally (> y -64) been placed like this.
Actual result: The error message is displayed.
Reproduction Steps (above y 319):
Place a stone block at y 319
Attempt to place a sapling on top of it
Expected result: No error message, as a sapling cannot be placed on stone.
Actual result: The error message is displayed.
