MC-270047Axes prioritize scraping copper over blocking with shields
When holding an axe and holding a shield in your offhand, right clicking will prioritize scraping copper blocks (and I assume stripping logs) over blocking with your shield. This is VERY apparent in trial chambers, where on multiple occasions I’ve struggled to defend against enemies due to my axe scraping wax off the copper walls rather than shielding.

Works as Intended. See MC-270047
The Bug:
Shovels prioritize creating dirt paths over blocking with shields.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Hold a shovel in your main hand and a shield in your off hand.
- Right-click while looking at some dirt and observe which item is used.
Observed Behavior:
The action of the shovel is prioritized.
Expected Behavior:
The action of the shield would be prioritized.
