Here's a code analysis along with a fix regarding this issue. 🙂

Code Analysis:

The following is based on a decompiled version of Minecraft 1.19.2 using MCP-Reborn.

net.minecraft.world.level.block.RespawnAnchorBlock.java

public class RespawnAnchorBlock extends Block {
   ...
   public InteractionResult use(BlockState blockState, Level level, BlockPos blockPos, Player player, InteractionHand interactionHand, BlockHitResult blockHitResult) {
      ItemStack itemstack = player.getItemInHand(interactionHand);
      if (interactionHand == InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND && !isRespawnFuel(itemstack) && isRespawnFuel(player.getItemInHand(InteractionHand.OFF_HAND))) {
         return InteractionResult.PASS;
      } else if (isRespawnFuel(itemstack) && canBeCharged(blockState)) {
         charge(level, blockPos, blockState);
         if (!player.getAbilities().instabuild) {
            itemstack.shrink(1);
         }
         ...

If we look at the above class, we can see that the awardStat() method (the method responsible for incrementing player statistics) is never called throughout this piece of code, thus making minecraft.used:minecraft.glowstone not increase when using glowstone to charge respawn anchors.

Fix:

Simply calling the awardStat() method where appropriate within this piece of code will resolve this problem. The following line of code can be used to fix this issue.

player.awardStat(Stats.ITEM_USED.get(itemstack.getItem()));
