The bug
This is not a duplicate of MCPE-32638, but it clones that ticket. This is a parity issue, since this was fixed for java in 1.16. MC-667 Normally you can’t place blocks inside yourself or other entities, however lily pads can be placed inside entities.
How to reproduce:
Go into a sea or an ocean and be at the top of the water
Try to place a lily pad inside yourself
Observed Result: The lily pad is placed and you will get pushed away from it.
Expected Result: The lily pad doesn’t get placed, since it would be placed inside you.
Still present in 1.16.210.56
Also, this bug affects not only the XBOX platform. I think it is on all platforms) (I tested it on Windows 10
