Able to place blocks on inaccessible block faces using 1-layer snow

It is possible to place blocks on the surface of blocks that the player is not directly targeting by using a 1-layer snow block.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Place a block floating in the air.

  2. Place a 1-layer snow block on top of that block.

  3. Try placing another block directly onto the top surface of the floating block — this normally should not be possible because the snow layer blocks access to that face.

  4. Instead, right-click on the side of the 1-layer snow layer while aiming appropriately.

  5. Observe that a block can be placed onto the blocked top surface of the underlying block.

Expected Result:
The player should not be able to place a block on a surface that is obstructed by the 1-layer snow, unless that surface is directly accessible according to normal placement rules.

Actual Result:
By clicking the side of a 1-layer snow block, the game allows placement onto the hidden top face of the block underneath.


Additional Notes:
This seems related to how thin blocks like 1-layer snow handle placement targeting and face detection, allowing interaction to pass through or incorrectly resolve to the block below. This also works on 26.1.2

This is working as intended. Snow has the replacabletag, just like grass.

Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Working as Intended.

Please note, that mechanics of the game may change between updates.
Things such as graphics, sounds, world creation, biomes, redstone, villagers, and animals may not work the same in current versions.
