I was told to create a new ticket regarding this issue so I've gone ahead and done so. The new report is MC-245845. ![]()
This ticket may relate to MC-245845
When targeting a block which is a valid placement position for frogspawn or lily pads, the game will favor the camera/look direction's raycast and place the block in an unexpected or undesired position.
(By raycast, I mean a straight line created from the player's view to the first water source block it hits)
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a 3x3x3 pond of water
- In the center-most position, place a block
- Stand on the edge of the pond (allowing space for placement on top of the water in front of you)
- Target the front-half of the block inside the pond
- Try and place a lily pad or frogspawn
Observed Behavior:
The block is placed on the water block closest to the player.
Expected Result:
The block would be placed above the center block, because it was targeted.
Screenshots/Videos:
In this example, I am trying to place the lily pad above the white wool. While this position is valid for placement, the lily pad is put on top of the water block my camera first views, instead of being placed on top of the block I am targeting.

Notes:
- To clarify; while this is very similar to MC-226518, it is different as that issue specifies the block is being placed when it otherwise should not be placed at all. In this instance, the block should be placed, but is put in the wrong position. The two however are closely related.
- Other related lily pad/frogspawn placement issues:

I was told to split this ticket into two reports, so I've gone ahead and done so as requested.
The two tickets are this one (MC-245845) and MC-245876.
This issue also now affects frogspawn due to its similar nature to lily pads. Since I'm the reporter of this ticket, I've updated it accordingly and just left this comment here for documentation purposes.
