[MC-3337] Cannot walk through 2 high hole with chest / soul sand / portal frames in floor

You cannot walk through walls which have holes 2 blocks high with a chest before the hole.
But you can walk through the hole if there is a block directly above the chest.
This bug is very reproducible, the screenshots show you how to reproduce it, respectively.

Edit: This applies also to soul sand and end portal frames or generally, any block that is higher than a half slab but no full block.

Same with quicksand.

Soulsand

i dont get why this is an intended feature with chests. Surely, it should only be with soulsand.

It's actually with any non-full-block-height block.

Kiran Appiah 2012-11-23T08:42:33Z

pretty annoying if you ask me, plus why does it then work when there is a block above you?

A lot of people use this trick in their builds. I think it should be considered feature

It occurs in 1.7.4.

Oddly, fixed in 14w32b

I'm with lolaapke on this one, I thought this was a feature, and I'm quite disappointed that it's gone as it breaks several of my adventure map builds when played in the latest version.
