Since the last update, right-clicking on a grass block with a shovel or hoe no longer works as it did before. When right clicking with a shovel to make a path, or right clicking with a hoe to make a field, there is no response. It is still possible to make a field or path if holding the crouch button while right-clicking the block.
Environment
Mac OS Big Sur 11.7.11
This behavior is now intended, see MC-309576 and MC-311903.
