Put the summary of the bug you're having here

What I expected to happen was...:
The anvil would be placed facing me.

What actually happened was...:
The complete opposite, which meant anvils had their sides to you. You can fix this by placing it from the side it ends up facing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put an anvil in your inventory.
2. Place it down in front of you.
3. Now try placing from the side.
