You take damage for spamming use at the build limit
Steps to replicate
Fly up to the build limit
Use /setblock to place a block at y 254
Place scaffolding above it
Place one scaffolding block next to the scaffolding that is at y 255 (at the build limit). Make sure it is floating and that it does not have blocks under it for at least 20 blocks to get good/proper/not-so-good-in-actual-gameplay results
Place a block such as wood next to that scaffolding
Go into survival while standing on top of the structure you just build
Stand on the wood or whatever block you placed that is not scaffolding
Spam the use button while looking at the block (straight down), it is right click for me, and you should start taking damage (You can also hold it)
Stand on top of the floating scaffolding
Press use on it, one time should be enough
You see normal height warning and are still alive
Wait a bit longer for stronger effect if you are still alive
Step onto the wood
You should be dead or heavily injured, if not please retry steps 9-13
Expected results
You get to walk around while being alive with no damage taken
Results
Dead or heavily injured
In Beta 1.16.220.50, you still get drowning bubbles that disappear after a bit if you hold use at the height limit, but I did not die or take any damage. This could be due to the "Movement prediction improvements" on the Beta changelog. The bug now is just drowning bubbles appearing, which should not affect gameplay much or even be able to drown you, since they disappear after a bit.
