      Entities are spawned in an unexpected location when a spawn egg is used on top of a carpet block with a downward facing piston extension above it.

      The entity would be spawned on the top of the carpet block, because that is where the player was aiming when they used the spawn egg item.

      Observed Results:

      The entity will be spawned on top of the piston head, rather than the carpet block:
