Exception, error or logs

There's just:
[Render thread/INFO] [net.minecraft.client.gui.NewChatGui/]: [CHAT] [Baritone] > pause
[Render thread/INFO] [net.minecraft.client.gui.NewChatGui/]: [CHAT] [Baritone] Paused
Nothing else related.

How to reproduce

Use for example #mine oak_log
Then use #pause while the bot is mining a block
The mining process would continue even if you weren't pointing to the same block

I can't reproduce this issue. Please provide alternate steps to reproduce it or more information such as a video. Also make sure you are using the latest version.

I found a similar issue where after running #pause successfully, running #stop without running #resume first causes it to "resume" forever. However, it will not mine any blocks, and will not move the player anywhere, but will prevent the user from moving the player.

Edit: #2028 seems similar

That would explain why I can't reproduce it. See that issue for more information.
