Summary:
If a block is placed next to or above a waterlogged block, or a bucket is used to change the waterlogged state of a block (placing or removing water), then a ghost version of the base block appears client-side. This causes many errors (incomplete list):
For beds and double chests, this only occurs when one half of the block is waterlogged.
If the entire bed and double chest are waterlogged, the blocks themselves stop rendering instead.
When water disappears on affected blocks, entering the space plays the water splashing sound once instead of twice (unintended, yet useful: MCPE-126671).
When water disappears on affected blocks, entering the space allows the client to move at full walking speed.
Trying to break an affected block will fail once, even in creative mode (in survival mode, the breaking textures appear, but resets once).
Using a sticky piston to retract an affected block moves the server-side block, but also keeps the client-side ghost block in the original space.
If the base (not head) of an extended sticky piston is affected, then placing a movable block on the piston head, attempting to break the piston base once, and deactivating the piston, causes the client to crash.
Steps to Reproduce (When using a water bucket):
Dig a 1 block deep hole
Place a waterloggable block in the hole
Waterlog the block
Dig a 2 block wide, 1 block deep hole
Place a bed or double chest in the hole
Waterlog the bed or double chest
Observed Results:
At step 3, the water renders for a split second and then stops rendering.
At step 6, the bed and double chest stop rendering.
Expected Results:
The water, bed, and double chest should all render correctly.
Steps to Reproduce (When placing blocks):
Navigate to a flat area
Break one block in the ground
Place water in the space
Place a waterloggable block in the space (lever, stair, sign, slab, ladder, carpet, or another if desired)
Place any block above or horizontally adjacent to the space
Observed Results:
The water disappears.
Expected Results:
The block appears submerged in a water source.
