When I mine a Gold block or an Iron block in 1.13 with a Silk Touch Pickaxe, it produces a Gold block or Iron Block as expected. However, when I try to use any Pickaxe to then mine these new acquired blocks to produce Iron or Gold ingot(s) it produces a single Gold or Iron block instead of ingot(s).
