For some reason after following these steps you can fall through the ground upon reopening your world.
Steps to reproduce
Create a superflat world.
Dig down 3 blocks. (you should see bedrock.)
Go into the hole and look up.
Reopen your world.
When the world is reopened, you will fall through the ground. This also affects survival in superflat because when you reopen your world you die!
@unknown Yes I believe so. I'll mark it as related.
