When a sulfur cube that can float, like wool or wood, is hit in the center or even the top, it gains upward momentum.
Steps to reproduce
Put a sulfur cube with a block that floats: wool, dirt, tnt, wood, or magma; in a pool of water, at least 2 blocks deep so you can control your height.
Get a weapon that is strong, such as trident or knock back 2 netherite sword, with no fire aspect.
Hit the sulfur cube on the middle of the side or the top of the side.
Expected result:
Sulfur cube goes mostly horizontal, with a little upwards momentum from bobbing.
Actual result:
Even when hit from the upper part of the side (hitting it from the top of the cube sinks it a bit) the sulfur cube gains plenty of upward momentum, and hardly any horizontal momentum.
