Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.

Your game is both modified and outdated. We only accept bug reports for the latest release and the latest snapshot. Please update to the latest version as it includes the newest fixes.

• Any nonstandard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.

• A world which had previously been opened with a modified client might be corrupted. Please try reproducing the issue in a newly generated world.

• Any plugin issues need to be reported to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.

• If you have problems on large servers such as Hypixel, please contact them first as they use modified server software.

If you can reproduce the issue in a vanilla environment on the latest version, you are welcome to create a new ticket.

However, please make use of the search feature, as someone else may already reported your issue before. If you find an existing ticket about the issue, you can add a vote and any new information to it instead of reporting it yourself.
