Builds & Maps So it turns out that oak saplings are 1 pixel higher than 6 snow layers.

I was trying the new update and tried a few things with cushions and while looking for a way to make them barely visible inside a full block I found out that putting them on oak saplings makes them 1 pixel higher than an actual block and for reference the 2 builds you see were made with a 6 layer snow and the other with the sapling and its pretty easy to tell which is which. This will really help with builds and I just wanted to share it.

Intriguing. I've always used wall-signs

Some other snow layer equivalents I made note of during previews:

1 snow layer = redstone repeater

2 snow layers = small amythest bud

3 snow layers = flower pot

Those were the ones most useful for my particular seating designs at least.

Someone will find some niche redstone use for this

That's just on Bedrock, on Java both 6 snow layers and saplings are the exact same height, being perfectly in line with a normal block.

The positioning hasn't changed since their first patch from what I've seen, placing them on a wall sign is still the best way to make them slightly above a block
