Did you disable some of the tools?

it turned out that the problem was caused by another mod

which one, so I know if it comes up again?

I cannot replicate this on single player or my test server. I will need more info to understand what might be happening.

Ok, I know how that is. If you do figure which one, could you put an update here? Thanks.

hard to tell, it occurred in a modpack. after deactivating some mods and reactivating them again, the bug just went away
