By jumping just before a falling block (i.e. an anvil or pointed dripstone) collides with you, you can completely avoid getting hit by it.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new world in Survival mode with commands enabled
Look up and run
/setblock ~ ~20 ~ anvilJump just before the anvil hits you as it falls
Expected result: The player should take damage from the anvil and die
Actual result: The player jumps through the falling anvil, does not get hit, takes no damage, and lands on top of the anvil after it hits the ground.
