Known Issues/Bugs

Crates loot spawns are not centered:
- Wooden crates and locked crates loot spawns aren't centered on block location.
- To help resolve this issue, please vote on the bug on Mojang: MCPE-156080
Can't place directly on some of the custom blocks:
- Some custom blocks always act like interactable blocks and can't place a block on them. The only way to place a block on them is when the player is sneaking.
- To help resolve this issue, please vote on the bug on Mojang: MCPE-179928
