Right click on boats, bamboo rafts or camel with 2 passengers plays hand animation and prevents the use of right-click items
The bug
Right clicking on a already ridden boat with no free passenger behaves inconsistently compared to all other ridable entities.
Boats act like you successfully started riding the entity and therefore the item in your hand is not used, while all others act like you did not successfully start riding them.
How to reproduce
- Put an item with right click action like for example a fishing rod in your hand
- Right click an already ridden minecart
/summon minecart ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"bat"}]}→
The fishing rod is used - Right click a boat with two passengers
/summon minecraft:boat ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"pig"},{id:"pig"}]}→
The fishing rod is not used and a hand animation plays instead

I'm not too sure but I believe this may qualify as a duplicate of MC-114112.
The Bug
When right-clicking a tamed wolf or cat while it is riding an entity such as a boat, minecart, or any other entity using the /ride command, the hand animation plays, but nothing visually occurs to the wolf/cat. Note that the wolf/cat has been sat down or stood up by the player, but this is not shown (until the player reloads the world; see MC-267827). This gives the impression of the player right-clicking the mob with no result, which can confuse the player.
This does not occur with tamed parrots.
How to Reproduce
- Summon a wolf and tame it using bones. This can also be done with cats, tamed with raw cod or raw salmon.
- Push the wolf/cat into a boat.
- Right-click the wolf/cat while it is in the boat.
Note how the hand animation plays, despite the wolf/cat not visually doing anything different.
