                    <description>&lt;p&gt;Sometimes you can found (on oasis in the desserts) some floating sand and if you broke one of blocks that this floating sand touches, the sand will fall down.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                            <comment id="699855" author="bugi74" created="Mon, 18 May 2020 12:44:57 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Careful with the terms.. In this particular case, it belongs to the category of being a bug that is (was) accepted (by Mojang) as (more or less) permanent feature. (An issue can be both, a bug, and a feature, i.e &quot;Won&apos;t Fix&quot;.)&#160; Note also the use of quotes around the word &quot;feature&quot; in earlier comment by Nathan Adams.&#160; (It was certainly nice that those particles have been added there, giving a warning about its volatile nature.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(The part of &quot;been in the game since forever&quot; is one of the common, yet very bad reasons for stating something is not a bug. Been in the game for long might indicate, or at least correlate, on it being a feature (or at least accepted as &quot;wont fix&quot;/&quot;feature&quot;), but... For example, see &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-7200&quot; title=&quot;Cave/tunnel generation may cut tunnels a bit too soon (fix included)&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-7200&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-7200&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. It is a very obvious bug (incorrect math), been there for around 9 years.)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Btw. my earlier comment about noting to see Dinnerbone&apos;s comment (in &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-610&quot; title=&quot;Grass / Flowers / Snow are placed incorrectly in newly created chunks&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-610&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-610&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;).. no idea, I couldn&apos;t myself find such any more. However, Nathan Adams once upon a time (2013) resolved it by using state &quot;Won&apos;t fix&quot;, which implies it being a bug, but just accepted to stay as a &quot;feature&quot;...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;... Until years later, Mojang decided to reopen it (meaning they have intent to work at least on some part of it), with priority &quot;important&quot;.&#160; Does not sound to me like it being a fully accepted &quot;feature&quot; at that point.&#160; The problem is, as usual with Mojang, they don&apos;t bother much with looking at linked issues, and end up resolving them in different ways. (Or not resolving at all, compare &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-7196&quot; title=&quot;Nether cave/tunnel generator produces incorrect/cut tunnels&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-7196&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-7196&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-7200&quot; title=&quot;Cave/tunnel generation may cut tunnels a bit too soon (fix included)&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-7200&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-7200&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; case, frigging same classes, even same methods, fixes provided, issues linked, and they fix just the other one &amp;gt;&amp;lt;). &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-610&quot; title=&quot;Grass / Flowers / Snow are placed incorrectly in newly created chunks&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-610&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-610&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was marked &quot;Won&apos;t fix&quot;, this one &quot;Working as intended&quot;, even though it was clear that both should have been handled the same.&#160; And later, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-610&quot; title=&quot;Grass / Flowers / Snow are placed incorrectly in newly created chunks&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-610&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-610&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; was reopened, this one was not.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note, the generic root cause for most of these floating stuff -related issues are sort of same, even if the technical mechanism might have slightly different ways in leaving the floating something in the world. Thus, I&apos;d assume that if Mojang considers one floating weird to be worthy of fixing, they might consider all of them... if they just remembered to look at the linked issues.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="699832" author="violine1101" created="Mon, 18 May 2020 12:02:02 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;It&apos;s certainly a feature and not a bug. Floating sand has been in the game since forever, and there even are special particles just for floating gravity blocks.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="699753" author="vladim&#237;r" created="Mon, 18 May 2020 10:18:47 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;That&apos;s right. WAI does not make any sense.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="77584" author="bugi74" created="Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:56:20 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;And Mojang has confirmed that while it is a bug, they have decided it will stay, thus this (and some other related ones) are resolved as &quot;works as intended&quot; or the more correct &quot;won&apos;t fix&quot;. See &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-610&quot; title=&quot;Grass / Flowers / Snow are placed incorrectly in newly created chunks&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-610&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-610&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Dinnerbone&apos;s comment.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="77471" author="matt3ominer" created="Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:40:21 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;i can confirm this bug!&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="47327" author="bugi74" created="Sun, 24 Feb 2013 02:55:58 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;This issue, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-5485&quot; title=&quot;Sand doesn&amp;#39;t fall on some hills&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-5485&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-5485&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-1340&quot; title=&quot;Floating vines on world generation.&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-1340&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-1340&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are likely duplicates of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-610&quot; title=&quot;Grass / Flowers / Snow are placed incorrectly in newly created chunks&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-610&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-610&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;; there is a lake underneath in each issue. The remaining two issues seem to have different cause. Since dinnerbone has stated in this issue that it is a &quot;feature&quot;, might be reasonable to resolve &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-610&quot; title=&quot;Grass / Flowers / Snow are placed incorrectly in newly created chunks&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-610&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-610&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt; the same (and hint about the reason being in this issue).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then again, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-610&quot; title=&quot;Grass / Flowers / Snow are placed incorrectly in newly created chunks&quot; class=&quot;issue-link&quot; data-issue-key=&quot;MC-610&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;MC-610&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&apos;s detail (grass/flowers/etc) can have easy workaround (just check one more block above and remove as necessary), so maybe keep it open until decided by Mojang.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="45276" author="sg2000" created="Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:11:26 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;Would be damn hard to fix and probably slow the world generation down to 10 min per chunk &lt;img class=&quot;emoticon&quot; src=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/images/icons/emoticons/smile.png&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don&apos;t think this bug should be fixed, as it looks kinda cool.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="14974" author="dinnerbone" created="Mon, 29 Oct 2012 13:30:12 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;This is a &quot;feature&quot; of world generation.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="14138" author="kyleha" created="Fri, 26 Oct 2012 22:41:00 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;I&apos;ve seen this happen too, and I wish it were fixed. Alternately, if there were some way for the player to produce the same structure, that would be neat. I don&apos;t like that the generated world contains things the player couldn&apos;t create.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="14049" author="gravity" created="Fri, 26 Oct 2012 18:49:48 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Not really a bug, and like Talven said I&apos;m rather fond of this specific &quot;bug&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="14018" author="talven81" created="Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:27:28 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Honestly I think this should be left as-is. It brings another level of caution and danger to the game. Yesterday I was exploring in a desert, when my friend popped a block. An entire hillside came down right next to me. Luckily I wasn&apos;t directly underneath, but it definitely got my heart beating.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="14011" author="tanatosus" created="Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:04:40 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Yeah, but maybe finaly it will be fixed &lt;sup&gt;_&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="14009" author="eleazzaar" created="Fri, 26 Oct 2012 17:00:31 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;It has been that way a very long time. I don&apos;t consider it a problem&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
