Additionally to this, in survival...
If you craft a lightning rod it will place just fine.
Breaking that lightning rod causes it to become cursed. It gets stuck in your inventory and you can no longer place it in the world. You can also not interact with other blocks while holding it.
It is possible to throw it out of your inventory using the mouse while it is cursed, but that doesn't fix the issue.
Can confirm it still happens on 1.16.210.60
Additionally, you cannot get rid of it by pressing Q while being in the hotbar (In Windows 10), you must open inventory and drag it away.
