[MC-32602] Iron Golem shapes made together delete iron blocks

I decided to make several iron golems next to each other, and when i made the iron golem in the middle, it destroyed the middle blocks form the other iron golem shapes.
Replicate:
1.Make 3 iron golem shapes next to each other facing west
2. Place a pumpkin on the middle one

There are two possible ways to create an iron golem. Clearly the game has to decide which to choose.

But in this case, it's choosing both of them?

I'll try to explain then.
When the game sees you build this.
And then you do this.
It chooses the valid shape for an iron golem, which is this.
Does that help?

Isn't that meant to happen? No, seriously, the Iron Golems have that 'T' shape and can't share 'arms'.

I think he means like these (screen shots attached).

Either way its working as inteneded. Iron golems spawn naturally facing North so in this setup you have 4 possible directions the golem can face when creating it. Since it wants to spawn facing North by default its going to choose the North facing combination thus taking the middle blocks from the other two.

Alright. Makes more sense now.

Basically, the NORTH-SOUTH direction takes precedence over the EAST-WEST direction. Hopefully this helps you Sam.
