Steps to Reproduce:
1. Equip any block-breaking tool (e.g., pickaxe) and start mining a block, causing the crack overlay and breaking particles to appear.
2. While the mining animation is ongoing (crack visible), switch to a spear (or any non-tool weapon) in the hotbar without releasing the mining button or before the block resets.
3. Observe the block’s lighting and the particle effects around the block.
Observed Result:
· The block’s surface lighting does not update correctly—shadows or brightness remain static or appear inconsistent with the surrounding environment.
· The mining crack texture and breaking particles continue to display on the block even after switching to the spear, and they persist for several seconds longer than expected, as if the game still treats the player as holding a mining tool.
Expected Result:
· Block lighting should update immediately according to the current light sources and sky conditions when any change occurs.
· Upon switching to a spear, the mining crack and particles should disappear instantly (or within the normal reset delay), since the spear is not a suitable tool for mining and should not continue the breaking effect.
Environment
· Platform: Android (Java Edition) · Launcher: Zalith Launcher · CPU: Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 · OS: Android 15 · Minecraft version:26.3pre-2 · Mods: None (vanilla)

Hi!
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.
Your game, launcher or server is modified.
If you can reproduce the issue in a vanilla environment, please recreate the issue.
Any non-standard 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 addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.
If you have problems on large servers like Hypixel, please contact them first as they run modified server software.
