When using an item model that changes based off the context_entity_type property checking for a player, the result is very inconsistent between various GUIs and screens in the game that render or hold items. Below is a table documenting the different screens/GUIs, whether or not items within them consider the player as the context entity, whether or not this seems intended or correct, and any additional notes on the behavior.
Screen/GUI | Considered as held | Likely to be correct? | Additional notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Toasts | No | Yes |
|
Advancements | No | Yes |
|
Statistics | No | Yes | Seems to be intended as the resolution to MC-8550 |
World Creation | No | Yes |
|
Gamemode Switcher | Yes | No | Seems likely to be incorrect based on the other non-block UI screen behaviors. Not a tangible item. |
Recipe Book Tabs | No | Yes | Seems to be intended as the resolution to MC-116293 |

Villager/Wandering Trader trades list | No | Yes | Seems to be intended as the resolution to MC-182888 |
Villager/Wandering Trader input/output slots | Yes | No | Seems to be unintended, MC-186849 is unresolved but confirmed, and relates to MC-182888 |
1 - Entirely depends on if items placed in GUI slots still considering the player as their context entity is intended behavior.
2 - Depends on if storage/container slots are intended to be treated differently from slots in GUIs that don't hold items when closed, unlike the ones covered by note 1.
Attached are screenshots of the cases listed in the chart. The item model being an apple means that it is considered as player context, and the item model being a potato means that it is not. The resource pack used to test this is also attached - various random items were used to test the different cases, so refer to the files at assets/minecraft/items to see which are changed.

relates to MC-278317
Updated to match the changes in pre1, including a new version of the resource pack. None of the cases listed in the table changed behavior, however the changelog gave clarification on a few of them, so I've linked any relevant reports in the additional notes for the case.
Also applies using something with the death_protection component (e.g. totem)
Using an item with death_protection component | No | Yes |
