MC-215163Spectators can produce client-side breaking particles without the animation
When in spectator mode, the game will randomly let you try to break blocks. It will momentarily show a particle as if the block is breaking, but then it will not let you even try to break anymore.
Steps to reproduce:
- Break a block completely in survival mode.
- Switch to Spectator mode.
- Try to break a different block. You may see particles. It is more consistent than interacting with a tileEntity, which can also be used to reproduce it, but very inconsistently.
Other method (very rarely works):
- Interact with a tileEntity in Survival mode.
- Switch to Spectator mode.
- Interact with the same tileEntity
- Try to break a block. You very rarely will see particles.

The client sometimes thinks you can break blocks in spectator mode
When in spectator mode, the game will randomly let you try to break blocks. It will momentarily show a particle as if the block is breaking, but then it will not let you even try to break any more blocks. It is very random when it happens and I have only been able to reproduce it once since I have noticed it.

I can't figure out how to reproduce it consistently, it is just random when it happens.

Despite not being able to break blocks with a sword or trident in Creative mode, you can still see the hitbox as if you were able to. However, in spectator and adventure modes where you are also not able to break blocks, you cannot see the hitbox. In addition, attempting to break the block causes particles to appear.
- Spectators do not see the hitblocks of blocks.
- Players in adventure mode do not see the hitbox of blocks.
- Spectators and players in adventure mode occasionally see the particles produced by breaking blocks.
(MC-215163) - Players in creative mode holding tridents or swords do see the hitbox of blocks and particles.
Note: In adventure and spectator mode, particles also appear, but is due to MC-215163, and you won't see the hitbox.

Duplicate of MC-46766
No, but they are related. MC-46766 requires you be in survival and partially break a block and switched to spectator. This one usually occurs after a spectator interacts with a tile entity and when you completely break a block. Also, MC-46766 is about the breaking animation, this one is about particles.
Please provide steps to reproduce this issue.
Tried interacting with a tile entity but no particles appeared.
I found this bug as well but thought it might be different - In my report I have detailed how I have been able to recreate it
To Recreate : Go into spectator mode and try to break a block. If it isnt breaking, switch to creative and replace the block. Then go back into spectator and try again.
Thanks !
