When the server's processing time drops below normal levels, players may experience unexpected fall damage in the following scenarios:
Standing on ghost blocks.
Bridging upwards.
Jumping on normal ground.
also, players who have walked on a number of ghost blocks 10+ and then walk to real ground may suddenly take fatal fall damage even though their y position hasn't changed and after get the fall damage sound effect. truly strange, this also can happen on single player. Regardless of device. but more often on weaker devices
This issue appears to happen randomly and may be related to performance of the server

you can reproduce this issue through lag in the game. The server has been online for a while, and lag occurs due to spawning entities (minecarts, armor stands or from friends joining the game). after more time of server operating the fall damage instances increase in frequency.

Consistent steps to reproduce likely cannot be made consistent because it is dependent on lag.
Are there specific steps that a player could follow in-game to trigger this issue, or does it only occur with server connection issues that originate outside of the game?
