MC-195095Empty flower pots and lecterns prevent the usage of the held items
The Bug:
Empty flower pots and lecterns prevent the usage of the held items.
This ticket has been split from MC-160926. Unlike the cases there, no hand animation is played to indicate a failed interaction. This should not happen, and the held item should be able to be used regardless. For example, blocks cannot be placed while looking at the side faces of empty flower pots or lecterns.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Place down a flower pot and a lectern, and obtain some bread.
- Attempt to eat the bread while looking at the empty flower pot or lectern.
- Take note as to whether or not empty flower pots and lecterns prevent the usage of the held items.
Observed Behavior:
The usage of the held items is prevented.
Expected Behavior:
The usage of the held items would not be prevented.

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.

He created a separate ticket for them, because the hand animation doesn't play on these blocks: MC-195095

Wanted to add that the front of a Chiseled Bookshelf seems to do the same for items that can't go inside, so it might be related to the same thing.
