Yes, you read that right, it's such a wacky bug that i was pondering, should i make an issue. i did some research and found out that either:

1. no one has noticed this before, maybe because it may be a new issue
2. somehow i am the only one this is happening to

it only happens with frogspawn. lilypad is fine. i made sure i am using the latest 1.19.2 forge with the latest rubidium. no other mods.

below is a screenshot

This will be fixed with Minecraft 1.19.3
