When accessing inventory, the screen freezes, though audio appears to continue as normal. I can press escape and the audio pauses, and I can click and hear the menu button click noise, though nothing happens. The crafting table seemed fine, though opening a chest also caused this issue. I was playing a world for a few hours without issue, saved and closed the game. I can back and this issue appeared. This issue also appears in a new world.
Environment
Windows 10, Java Edition
The reported behavior is already mentioned in the description of MC-280379. bq. This also happens when opening a chest, in that case the game is stuck rendering the UI even after exiting the chest’s UI. Nevertheless, “freeze after playing for a few minutes” and “freeze when accessing user interfaces” might be sufficiently distinct to warrant tracking this issue separately.
