When falling a long distance onto a slime block and holding sneak, you do not bounce and, notably, you take fall damage.

I believe that not bouncing is intended, given the behavior of holding spacebar while bouncing on slime, but by the same token, the fall damage does not seem intentional.

So... is this going to be fixed?

"Works as intended" seems to be a very bizarre way of dealing with this issue...

Confirmed in 1.12. Does not occur with beds. I do not think this is intended.

In fixing MC-275834 we're changing the Slime block so that sneaking is the intended way to break the bounce.
This means players should not take fall damage when sneaking and bouncing.
