Targeting blocks outside of the world border blocks all interactions even if they wouldn't modify terrain
When aiming at a block which is outside of the world border, all right click actions are completely prohibited. For some reason, this also includes items such as fishing rods, snowballs, and food, which seems completely wrong. This is regardless of whether the player is in or out of the world border. If not pointing at a block but still at an area outside of the world border, the action can go ahead as normal.
Expected behaviour would be that any action can work on a block outside of the world border, unless that action modifies terrain, creates a (non-projectile?) entity which would be outside of the world border at the first tick of its existence, or deletes an entity outside of the world border.

Can confirm.
I'd recommend maybe having this looked at again given the many changes to the world border in 1.18 pre-release 1.
Could you give examples of what you are referring to?
The description and screenshots demonstrate that throwing snowballs is impossible if targeting a block, as is casting a fishing rod and eating food. Since these aren't block placement actions, it makes no sense for them to be prohibited.
I am requesting a review. As demonstrated in my video, this wasn't an issue prior to 1.13. Specifically, before version 1.13, only certain items like blocks, armor stands, fireworks, spawn eggs, etc., were restricted from use when aiming outside the world border. Items that didn't modify terrain functioned properly. no MC-212621 in 1.12.2.mp4
