Creation of a block doesn't seem to check if you're there (especially head), before doing so, resulting in easy suffocation. I've found this in a few cases.

The first is the classic tree chopping, you try to cut the tree, but it's too big, so you have to jump while placing blocks under you. Sometimes, it starts placing them on your legs, then head and you suffocate. Easier to recreate if you're a little off centre and your head doesn't go in the hole but gets stopped by the leaves (so jump gets cancelled), block still gets place, and you end up suffocating.

The second case, is for example, if you're farming melon/pumpkin and you have blocks selected, and instead of mining, you accidentally place one on top, and one in front of that, which is usually where your head is. The block gets placed, and you suffocate.

Minetest version 5.6 (OpenSUSE TW repo version).

This is an old Minetest issue. I hope they will fix it.
