Floating leaves!!!????

Got it! That changes things. Let's rewrite the bug report so it correctly focuses on the vines loading in floating when chunks naturally load or generate, rather than happening from breaking a block yourself.

Bug Report: Vines Loading In Floating in Mid-Air Upon Chunk Load

Summary:

Vines are failing to validate their support and are rendering floating in mid-air whenever chunks naturally load or are reloaded in the world.

Platform & Version Info:

* Game Version: Bedrock v1.26.52

* Platform: Xbox

* Game Mode: Survival

* Coordinates: 1393, 68, -409 (Day 517)

Description:

Hey Mojang team, I ran into this strange bug while exploring my Xbox world. As you can see in the screenshot at coordinates 1393, 68, -409, there are strands of vines just floating completely in mid-air with zero support behind or above them. I didn't mine any blocks to cause this—they appeared this way naturally when the chunk loaded in as I walked into the area. It seems like the game isn't running a proper support check on vines when chunks are initialized or loaded from memory.

Steps to Reproduce:

* Locate or grow vines attached to a structure, tree, or block.

* Move far enough away for the chunk to unload.

* Return to the area to force the chunk to naturally load back in.

* Observe that the vines (or parts of them) remain hanging in mid-air without their supporting blocks updating or breaking.

Expected Result:

When a chunk loads, hanging plants like vines should immediately check for valid adjacent support faces and break if no supporting block is present.

Observed Result:

Vines persist and float freely in empty space upon chunk loading.

Note for Mojang Developers (Suggested Fix):

> DEVLOPER Note: This points to a missing chunk-load initialization check or deferred block update. When chunks are loaded into memory, the block state ticker or block validation routine (checkCanSurvive) doesn't seem to be running for vine blocks (vine.json). Adding a routine that runs a neighbor/support check across blocks when a chunk is loaded would ensure unsupported vines automatically pop off and drop.
