[MCPE-18900] Sand, gravel, and concrete powder will drop as an item on certain blocks that it shouldn't such as pistons.

Sand and gravel are dropped when landed on pistons (both types), glass, ice, leaves (all types) and stairs (all types). This should not happen because in Minecraft pc this does not occur because items such as torch, pressure plate, chest among others is for this to happen naturally the opposite of the first items quoted.
This bug affects not only the piston but other items that normally should not happen such a bug.

I used to have this problem in 0.16.0 but I just tested it with a regular and sticky piston using red and regular sand. The upper most block of regular sand becomes invisible after it falls and doesn't become visible until It's updated. Red sand works normally.

However, sand that falls to the side of a piston is destroyed. This happened in both combinations of red/reg sand and sticky/reg pistons.

So just place some blocks on a piston and try placing a gravity affected block on It's side. If it breaks after landing next to the piston, then this looks like a bug.

Ran this with mcpe 0.16.2 in wm10 on a 950.

I am having the same problem in my Pocket Edition in my Realm. I have a gate that pistons push the gravel up to open the gate then the gravel is suppose to fall back down into position but then breaks. Everything worked fine until the latest upgrade.

This happens on my iPad Air (iOS 10.2) in v1.0.1 as several things I have built that pushed sand/gravel up and then goes back down.

Marek 2017-01-09T02:35:50Z

Just checked most of the blocks and affected are: all wooden gates, all fences, all doors, both trapdoors, both cobblestone walls, redstone comparator, repeater, redstone torch, redstone sand, pistons in all positions, all stairs, all slabs, all chests, all heads, all carts (except for the one with hopper), daylight sensor, all rails, all flowers, all saplings, buttons, lever, all pressure plates, enchantment table, brewing stand, all carpets, both mushrooms (small ones of course), end portal, dragon egg, dead bush, lily pad, glass, glass pane, iron bars, bed, flower pot, cactus, bamboo, lader, torches, all tree leaves, ice (strangely packed ice not) and of course cake 🙂 version 1.0.0.16 on Android 6.0 I do understand that some of them are better this way... Like item frame or trip wire (too)

Confirmed on Motorola Moto E

Julio Cesar Jales 2017-01-19T22:18:34Z

This bug is present on every device whether Android or IOS

JohnWildTamer 2017-03-05T21:14:33Z

Still effect 1.0.4.1

Jarrr 2017-03-06T18:53:59Z

This also affects Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition 1.0.3

CrampedSpider72 2017-03-10T00:40:39Z

Still affects in 1.0.4.11 (1.0.4 full version)

Mark Aranzanso 2017-03-15T23:08:37Z

i think it only happens when you place a piston on the east direction. It's working fine on the west direction. Still affects 1.0.5 build 2

Julio Cesar Jales 2017-03-15T23:51:14Z

Mark/ can you demonstrate?

Mark Aranzanso 2017-03-16T03:11:41Z

the piston with the sand above destroys the sand. The piston without sand above falls the sand.

Marek 2017-03-17T02:19:47Z

Please do not mark unreleased versions as affected.
You don't have access to them yet.

Julio Cesar Jales 2017-03-17T22:40:00Z

However this version 1.0.5.3 was released for android as a beta on the 15th containing this bug.

Ariel Diaz 2017-03-18T00:25:27Z

So just to make sure this is correct, the following blocks;

-Sand
-Red Sand
-Gravel
-Anvil (all 3 types)
-Dragon Egg

are broken when landing on pistons, sticky pistons, and all of the other blocks mentioned from an earlier comment by Marek.

If that's true, then the title should be revised as other blocks are affected as well.

Mr.SCane 2017-03-18T23:21:05Z

Why the developers can't fix this bug?This bug makes the game boring.

[Mod] Celesian 2017-04-01T02:10:57Z

Fixed for both types of pistons in 1.1.0.0.

Glass, ice, leaves, and stairs are still affected in 1.1.0.0

Mark Aranzanso 2017-04-01T02:31:04Z

Anomonous Anomonous 2017-04-06T22:55:15Z

Finally my dragon egg randomizer that i copied from Panda4994 will be resetable without having to place the dragon egg again. But I'll have to wait for 1.1 to come out for iOS..

[Mojang] Mega_Spud (Jay) 2017-09-06T12:49:54Z

Falling Blocks breaking on Pistons is Fixed in 1.2.0.25.

For the issues where falling blocks break on other blocks, please refer to MCPE-20109
