Since this is an interaction with a block that triggers a change in block state, a hand animation should be played, however in this case none happens, which is very inconsistent. Right clicking on lit redstone ore should also play a hand animation, since it causes it to emit a burst of particles.

Same applies to rotating items in an item frame. Do we have a ticket for this?

Tested rotation in 19w37a, it definitely has a hand animation now.

Aye! I've accidentally tested it in 1.14.4.

Might have been fixed alongside MC-127094 then

Confirmed in 19w38b.
