Anvils sometimes destroy items when falling on them even if they aren't placed successfully
The bug
When an anvil lands on top of an item, the item will be deleted. This is also the case when the anvil cannot be placed successfully (i.e. if there's already another block in the same spot), but in this case it doesn't happen consistently.
To reproduce
- Place a torch (or a sapling, or another transparent block) on the ground
- Throw an item inside of that block
- Let an anvil fall on top of that block
- The anvil drops as an item when reaching the ground
→
Sometimes the item you threw will be deleted (crushed by the anvil), sometimes it will still be there
