 Description   

Using LivingEntity#getTargetBlock doesn't actually get the player's target block if they're looking at a lower y-level than their head is at. 

Here's an example with Essentials's /editsign command which uses getTargetBlock(null, 5) to detect the target block

getTargetBlock() handles all blocks as if they're using their full block space.
To take the real block shapes into account you have to use getTargetBlockExact​()
