Please try updating Geyser to the latest version. Further, i've not been able to reproduce this on a paper 1.21 server - try if it occurs there?

[7Wdev]

yea I updated geyser, I am running a paper 1.21 server, I cannot stripp logs using axe. it is like the action isn't there. the (issue occurs on the bedrock client)

#4869 it looks like it isnt me alone who is facing this bug

[onebeastchris]

I am unable to replicate this bug using 1.21.2 Bedrock on a Windows 11 device using the latest version of Geyser and paper (build 89). Please try using Paper - the geyser dump you shared shows you using a paper fork.

Further, please test if you can replicate this bug with no other plugins.

yea I was using leaves mc, then I tried to use papermc and the same issue is still persistent. Then I created a clean leavsemc server without plugins and I managed to strip a log but the animation of the action is broken.

can you strip logs without holding a shield? or does it not work altogether

[Camotoy]

So you can't strip logs when holding a shield - this is a Java issue. But we follow Bedrock's rules for shield usage... we might just have to block in this case so people know what's going on??

[7Wdev]

Yea it's the shield, what a weird thing, why would a shield prevent me from stripping log?

Java clients can't strip logs while holding a shield, but bedrock clients can. The server prevents this from happening as it isn't possible for java

[onebeastchris]

It's either that ^, or it's Geysers workaround for using shields. Personally, if this is java behavior I would leave it as is, but /shrug

[7Wdev]

Maybe making it optional through the config? because in my case I am running a bedrock only server.

Issue still present on fabric 1.21.4 on 23 December 2024. Logs can be stripped if the player is not holding a shield.

Can confirm this is still an issue with 1.21.7

I believe this issue is invalid as since 1.21 this is listed as Works As Intended by Mojang. You can find the issue on the bug tracker here: https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC/issues/MC-273378. Bedrock clients experience this because it is the behaviour on java edition.

For those who don't like this behaviour there is an alternative which I have been told works with bedrock clients:

As an alternative you can use the Sneak key (left shift by default) + Use Item/Place Block key (right-click by default), the axe will take priority over the shield (if it's not held in the off-hand).
