Right clicking cake with empty main hand does not use item in off-hand
The bug
Right clicking a cake which cannot be eaten with an item with a right click action in the main hand will correctly use the item. However, if the cake is clicked with an empty main hand and the same item in the offhand instead, the item's action is not executed. This is inconsistent with all other blocks.
How to reproduce
- Place an item with right click ability like a fishing rod in your offhand
- Right click a cake with an empty main hand
→ You will notice that the fishing rod is not used

When an item with a right click action (tested here using a fishing rod) is used while aiming at a block which has another right click action which is not relevant to the held item (tested here with flower pots and signs), the block's right-click action takes precedence over the item's. Since the right click action of the block neither opens a GUI (as in storage containers, enchantment tables, command blocks, etc.) nor does it toggle a block state (as in doors, levers, buttons, berry bushes and others), one would expect the item's action to override the block's. However, this is not the case.
Currently affected blocks are:
- signs (see
MC-166885) - wall signs (see
MC-166885) - flower pots (see MC-195095, do not cause hand animation); see also the special case MC-193010
- lecterns (see MC-195095, do not cause hand animation)
- bells (ringing; this doesn't fall under a blockstate change or gui opening, so probably not intended)
- dragon eggs (when they can't teleport)
- cake (only if the item to be used is in the offhand and the main hand is empty, see MC-114718; does not cause hand animation)
- beds (if they cannot set the spawn point)
- chests (when obstructed)
- trapped chests (when obstructed)
- ender chests (when obstructed)
- shulker boxes (when obstructed)
- decorated pot (when full)
Pressed-in buttons also block right click actions in a manner similar to flower pots, however this behaviour should be kept to stop accidental item use when pressing buttons.
Note blocks are not included here as right clicking obstructed note blocks does indeed change their block states, however this is difficult to notice.
Fixed in 19w42a. A bug remains with cake that is better described in MC-114718.
Relates to/duplicate of MC-114718.
