Cannot use spawn egg items on a spawner minecart to change it's entity type

Reopened

23

The player cannot use spawn eggs on spawner minecarts to change their respective entity type they summon like normal spawners.

Steps to Reproduce:

Place down a rail block
Fly directly above the rail block

Run the following command:

/summon minecraft:spawner_minecart ~ ~ ~

Right click the spawner minecart with any spawn egg

Observed & Expected Results:

❌ - The player's arm will swing as if they are using the spawn egg item, but nothing will happen to the spawner minecart, and it will remain empty.
✔ - The spawn egg would successfully be used on the spawner minecart, and the entity type would change.

Screenshots/Videos:

Notes:

This is inconsistent when compared to other spawner blocks such as the monster spawner, or trial spawner.

Reopening as it works on normal spawners, and thus is expected to also work on spawner minecarts.

Spawner minecart isn’t used in game and probably won’t be used, so mahjong won’t fix that until they remind about this item
