I'm sometimes unable to eat for either a period of time, or until some action takes place. It seems like placing and breaking blocks may help to break out of the state where holding right-click with food in-hand does nothing.
Platform: Windows 10 client playing on a self-hosted Linux server.
I'm also having this issue. Running a Windows 10 client connecting to a self-hosted Linux server. Found in versions 1.13.0.? and 1.13.30.0.
If I restart the server, the problem persists. If I use the same client to start a new local game, I'm able to smelt smooth stone again only in that local world. Returning to the self-hosted server, the problem persists.
If it's of any help, I can provide a copy of the world in which this issue is occurring.
Update: I confirmed last night in 1.13.30.0 that if I mine new cobblestone, then smelt it into new stone, then:
That new stone can be be smelted into smooth stone.
That new stone can only make stone items on a stonecutter.
If I use the old stone I already had in a chest:
That stone cannot be smelted into anything.
That stone can be turned into almost any stone, andesite, diorite, or granite items on a stonecutter.
