 Description   

I can almost guarantee that this contains some duplicates, however, I would rather post all instances I found in one place than try and weed out the specific instances that have been reported already.

---------------

Blocks affected: Glass, Redstone Block, Glowstone, Slab, Stair

Blocks used for testing: Repeater, Door, Pressure Plate, Button, Lever (top, bottom, side), Rail, Ladder, Trapdoor, Torch (top, side), Flowerpot, Redstone Dust, Fire (top, bottom, side)

----------------

First image: Control. How we would expect blocks that must be attatched to other blocks to behave.

Glass: Non-solid block. Would expect it to support nothing, yet supports torches, just on top.

Redstone Block: Does not support Buttons or Ladders.

Glowstone: Supports only Redstone Dust and Trapdoor

Slab and Stair: Special case. Only thing I expected to work that did not is a lever on the bottom of a bottom slab/stair.

Not quite. There was a mod a while back that allowed you too place torches on bottom slabs, by just lowering the mesh and bounding box by half a block. The torch itself was still technically in the block above the slab.

Comment by Simons Mith [ 09/Feb/13 ]

You should be able to put levers on the bottom of lower slabs and the top of upper slabs, but the other way around would result in the lever being half in one block and half in another, and that's something the game can't handle by its design.

I suppose you can create a separate ticket for that case.

Comment by asdf [ 09/Feb/13 ]

You aren't supposed to be able to put levers on the bottoms of slabs when you can put them on the top? What's the reasoning behind that?

Comment by Tails [ 09/Feb/13 ]
  • Glass and torches: intended
  • Redstone Block: see MC-5850
  • Glowstone: intended
  • Slab/Stair: intended
Comment by Tails [ 09/Feb/13 ]

What's not intended has already been submitted.

Comment by asdf [ 09/Feb/13 ]

So you aren't going to note the ones that don't work as intended?

Comment by Tails [ 09/Feb/13 ]

Most of this works as intended.
