The bug
Repost of MC-135157 for bedrock
You are unable to plant crops like wheat, potatoes, carrots, beetroot, pumpkin stem, melon stem or nether warts by aiming at the side or bottom of a block. This only works when aiming directly at the farmland or soul sand. This also was a bug on java edition, which got fixed in 1.14, however it is not fixed on bedrock yet. This also affects sweet berry bushes, see MCPE-54049.
How to reproduce:
- Create farmland
- Place a block next to the block above the farmland
- Aim at the side of that block
- Hold wheat seeds in your hand
- Right click
What I expected to happen: You will plant the crop.
What actually happened: Nothing happened upon right clicking.
Summary:
Some blocks that are only placed on certain blocks or sides are not placed when the player is aiming over an adjacent block where the block should be placed.
Affected blocks:
- Glow Berries (MCPE-122161)
Candles (fixed 1.18.10.20MCPE-130812)- Sweet berry (MCPE-54049)
- Door
- Tripwire Hook
- Amethyst Cluster (Amethyst Bud)
- Bell
- Button
- Lever
- Wheat (MCPE-82691)
- Potatoes (MCPE-82691)
- Carrots (MCPE-82691)
- Beetroot (MCPE-82691)
- Pumpkin stem (MCPE-82691)
- Melon stem (MCPE-82691)
- Nether warts (MCPE-82691)
- Cocoa beans
Steps to reproduce:
- Place a block on which the above blocks can be placed.
- Place a block with an adjacent side, where the block will be placed.
- Take the above blocks.
- Aim at the side of an adjacent block.
- Try to place the indicated blocks.
Observed results:
Blocks are not placed.
Expected results:
The blocks will be placed as blocks similar to the indicated blocks.

*Amethyst Cluster (Amethyst Bud) needs to be tested with a block on which it is not placed(e.g. foliage)
Did you use Xbox Game Bar for recording, too? Nice.
Can confirm
Why exactly is the “expected behavior” expected? I would expect the game mechanics around real-world non-fantasy things to be realistic. Like, you plant plants in the ground.
Furthermore, if you aim at the side of a dirt block, should the berry be planted in that block, or the one below where you are aiming? People are going to have different intuitive expectations about that. Planting in the top of blocks at least is consistent.
I agree with GoldenHelmet. If you try to plant carrots in a tilled farm block by using them on the side of another block, it would not work, because you actually need to plant the carrots in the ground where you want them to grow rather than in another block, therefore, this is not a bug.
This is a bug, since it was a bug on java. Also this is inconsistent with other blocks. You should be able to place them like any other normal block.
Since they are in creative, they are eating the sweetberry rather than planting them. In order to test this once and for all,
1. Go into survival
2. Play on difficulty easy, medium, or hard
3. Find a sweetberry bush and make sure your hunger bar is full.
4. Attempt to plant the sweetberry by placing it on the side of a block.
