Gravel, dirt and suspicious gravel generation is completely different in bedrock edition
With the recent update now the trail ruins are able to spawn in the same location in both editions (MCPE-169988), but.. it seems that suspicious gravel generation is less in bedrock than in Java Edition

This issue was discovered when testing MCPE-178015
Relates to MC-263062
[Mojang] Billy Sjöberg said, the block doesn't fall until a neighboring block is updated.
When the sand or gravel is generated floating it never falls no matter how many random gameticks pass.
However, when the suspicious sand or gravel is generated floating it will fall after some random gameticks which is also different from Java Edition
Analysis
Here is a video that shows the issue MCPE-178020.mp4
| Sand generated floating | Sand suspicious generated floating | Gravel generated floating | Gravel suspicious generated floating |
|---|---|---|---|
| not fall |
fall |
not fall |
fall |
Steps to reproduce:
- Import world ( Suspicious gravel and sand bug.mcworld
) and enter - teleport in coord
/tp -416 66 -205
- Wait two minutes
Observed behavior:
Gravel and sand suspicious block, falling when passing some random gameticks
Expected behavior:
Gravel and sand suspicious block, never falling when passing some random gameticks








Can confirm.
Possibly a duplicate of
MCPE-139878?Does the same reproduce on ocean ruins or with suspicious sand?
Yes and no... since there is no parity in ocean ruins spawn location
Analysis
Ocean ruins| warm
Bedrock Edition
Java Edition
Ocean ruins| cold
Bedrock Edition
Java Edition
I also want to say that this ticket only focuses on trail ruins
