Placing Armor Stand removes certain blocks in that area.

Resolved
Works As Intended
0
Summary:

Placing an Armor Stand acts like a block and removes certain blocks(Tall Grass, Fern, Vine, 1 Thick Snow Layer, 2 high grass and ferns) in an area that Armor Stand takes.

Justification:

You might think that this is WAI because Armor Stands are supposed to be behave like blocks so they will remove these blocks. But here are the reasons why I think that is not the case:

  1. You can place blocks listed above again at the Armor Stand's position.

  2. Other entities that behave like a block(Item Frame, Painting) do not break any block when placed.

  3. Armor Stands can

  • Be stacked in 1 place

  • Be moved by Pistons

  • Ride Minecarts

  • Go into the portal

  • Activate Pressure Plates
    Which indicates it is a lot like a mob with movement speed 0 than a block.

I guess its WAI, since these blocks you mentioned aren't solid.

@unknown I don't think placing entity should delete blocks.

I'm sure that this is intended, as armor stands are designed to work similarly to blocks.

@unknown How armor stands are designed to work like blocks?

  1. They can be stacked in exactly same place multiple times,

  2. You can place removed blocks again after armor stand is placed.

They don't move around. Armor stands, paintings, and item frames are all entities that are pseudo-blocks.

@unknown Except Armor Stands can

  • Be moved by Pistons

  • Ride Minecarts

  • Go into the portal

  • Activate Pressure Plates, etc
    They behave a lot like mobs with generic.movementSpeed set to 0.

Also, paintings, and item frames do not break any block when placed.

I explicitly designed placing armor stands this way
