Falling Gravel (+ Others) Disappear When They Fall on Cobweb block
When gravel falls onto a cobweb, it slowly falls through, and then disappears, rather than dropping as a collectible item.
Small video clip attached, showing how gravels falls and drops as item on torch, but not on cobweb. (low quality, but should suffice)
Also affects:
- Red Sand
- Anvil
- Sand
- Top Snow
Possibly related to MCPE-1682 , but that was such an old bug and didn't mention Cobwebs.
Edit: Added animated gif to view without download. Added affected blocks that fall.

When all type block on the falling sand entity falling on the cobweb before disappear (MCPE-12765), then break the cobweb the first falling entity will replacing the other when the block was placed. As shown in the picture the falling sand: red sand, sand, gravel, and anvil falling on the cobweb at once, then when the falling sand touch the ground, then break the cobweb the other entity like anvil, and the red sand will replaced by the regular sand (the regular sand I put that first before the other).
Thank you for your report! This issue was, however, submitted at an earlier time as MCPE-12765. You may add any information you find relevant in the comment section there.
Katten also observed the following:
Falling sand despawns after four seconds, and so this can also be observed during its uninterrupted falls.
So I have marked this as a related issue to MCPE-12765

Confirmed, the falling sand will disappear because there is no space to place the sand from falling sand to the regular block.
Thanks ItsPlantseed - Added sand, red sand, top snow and anvils also.
Gravel, sand, etc. only sense for blocks to be in the way, not torches, cobweb, etc. If they don't find a valid block under it, they'll despawn and change to an item sprite.
Maybe they should, but in this case, they just disappear.
Confirmed on iPhone 6+ (iOS 9.2), 0.11.0 through 0.13.1. Falling sand despawns after four seconds, and so this can also be observed during its uninterrupted falls.
Reopening, still an issue in 0.16.0
