MCPE-186255Some flattened IDs are still incorrectly overwritten by original ID in blocks.json with format_version 1.21.20 or higher
A "format_version" field was introduced in 1.21.20 for the blocks.json file. This controls how IDs which were flattened, but remained IDs for a single block, are treated. For example, sponge no longer controls wet_sponge as of format_version 1.21.30.
Two blocks still do not work correctly: dirt and its flattened ID, coarse_dirt. In addition, sandstone and red_sandstone only work when the entries are in a specific order.
For example, the following configuration (from the attached sample pack) should cause dirt and coarse_dirt to do different things:
Dirt: Random texture rotation, sculk sounds
Coarse Dirt: No rotation, bamboo sounds
This does not have the intended result in-game. Coarse dirt still rotates and makes sculk sounds:
Blocks which were flattened and retained their original ID as a single ID can be affected by this problem, but only some IDs are affected. Here is a table:
| Original ID | Flattened IDs | Flattened IDs Apply Separate Properties |
|---|---|---|
| dirt | dirt coarse_dirt |

Expected Result
When blocks.json format_version is set to 1.21.20 or higher, properties assigned to dirt in will NOT be applied to coarse_dirt, which is a separate block ID as of 1.21.20. Sandstone IDs should do this as well.
Observed Result
In blocks.json with 1.21.20+ format_versions, coarse_dirt properties are still overwritten by dirt, making it impossible to modify properties of both blocks at the same time. sandstone and red_sandstone IDs overwrite properties set earlier in the file for all sandstone variants.

As stated in another comment, stone IDs have been separated in blocks.json in the vanilla_1.21.10 resources. Unfortunately, they are affected by MCPE-186255, which means they do not work separately.
The planks split IDs have not appeared in the vanilla resources yet, but they are functional. Here is an example where I used the "oak_planks" ID in blocks.json to make Oak Planks randomly rotate, without affecting Spruce Planks. (Halloween Mash-up is also applied):
Once the split planks IDs are included in the vanilla resources, this report can be considered "fixed" and the remaining issues with blocks.json should move to MCPE-186255.
