The bug
When an anvil falls onto farmland, it destroys the tilled land and turns it into dirt, but when an anvil falls on an actual crops, it turns into a drop instead of crushing the crop.

Confirmed for crops, saplings and flowers, but not for tall grass (fern, dead bush)

Is this still a concern in the latest Minecraft version 14w08a? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

In 14w08a, anvils still don't crush crops, but don't turn them into drops either.

Still a concern in 14w10b and 1.7.5

Confirmed for 14w17a

Confirmed for 14w18b.

Confirmed for 1.8 and 1.8.1-pre2.

Anvil also drops instead of turning it into dirt when falling on farmland (now?).

Confirmed for 1.13.1.

Affects 19w14b

Confirmed in 19w45a.

Confirmed for 20w06a. Please change the reporter to me (Oval) so I can keep this ticket updated.

Affects 20w12a
I guess it should be the other way around then, so that the flower drops and not the anvil

Affects 20w13b

@unknown Adding affected versions other than the latest release or the latest snapshot, requires some extra effort and is usually not all that useful. Also if you notice a ticket's already been confirmed for any version, you don't need to reconfirm it for that one.

This is a feature request.
