When in spectator mode, the game will randomly let you try to break blocks. It will momentarily show a particle as if the block is breaking, but then it will not let you even try to break anymore.
Steps to reproduce:
Break a block completely in survival mode.
Switch to Spectator mode.
Try to break a different block. You may see particles. It is more consistent than interacting with a tileEntity, which can also be used to reproduce it, but very inconsistently.
Other method (very rarely works):
Interact with a tileEntity in Survival mode.
Switch to Spectator mode.
Interact with the same tileEntity
Try to break a block. You very rarely will see particles.

Duplicate of MC-46766

No, but they are related. MC-46766 requires you be in survival and partially break a block and switched to spectator. This one usually occurs after a spectator interacts with a tile entity and when you completely break a block. Also, MC-46766 is about the breaking animation, this one is about particles.
Please provide steps to reproduce this issue.
Tried interacting with a tile entity but no particles appeared.

I found this bug as well but thought it might be different - In my report I have detailed how I have been able to recreate it
To Recreate : Go into spectator mode and try to break a block. If it isnt breaking, switch to creative and replace the block. Then go back into spectator and try again.
Thanks !
