When pointed dripstone falls and gets broken, after hitting the ground, it will ignore any custom parent loot tables from the pointed dripstone block and instead will only drop a single dripstone item.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Place this loot table into your world's datapack folder, which changes the dripstone loot table to dirt:
  dripstone_loot_table_bug.zip
• Run the following command

  /summon minecraft:falling_block ~1 ~ ~1 {BlockState:{Name:"minecraft:pointed_dripstone",Properties:{vertical_direction:"down"}}}
  

Observed & Expected Results:

→ The pointed dripstone will be destroyed, and drop a single pointed dripstone item.
→ The pointed dripstone would drop dirt, because that is what the block's loot table is set to.

Original Description

^{(Original description by nikolanoxy)}

If you create a custom loot table for dripstone, the custom drops are given if a player mines it, but if it's a falling stalactite, the broken pieces will give you the vanilla loot table drop.

I would think the intended functionality would be each block of falling dripstone would use the `data\minecraft\loot_tables\blocks\pointed_dripstone.json` loot table.
