  • Adding an eye of ender to a portal frame

  • Fire catching on another face of a block

  • Vines growing

  • Vines spreading to another face of a block

  • Stairs changing shape

  • Grass becoming snowy (snow placed on top)

  • Adding/removing a music disc from a jukebox

  • Adding/removing a book from a lectern

  • Leaves distance changing (log placed nearby)

  • Locking/unlocking a repeater

This issue happens in 1.15.0.53 also.

Affects: 1.16.0.61

Affects 1.16.20.54 Beta

None of the "block updates" stated are block updates. The problem does not come from the observer. You can test it using other BUDs, they won't detect them either, meaning they aren't block updates.

This has to be the most annoying bug for most redstone players. Redstone in general needs an overhaul in bedrock edition to let people play seriously, post main game.

Affects 1.21.23, was trying to build an automatic "snowplow" but was out of luck.

Some of these have been fixed. For example, observers will detect wall shape changes.

… and locking/unlocking a repeater
