Bot.dig() only works on first given Position

[Nikluwu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When i use Bot.dig() and pass a block the bot will mine the block as usual. But when i use dig again the bot starts mining the block and swings its Arm but the block never breakes. Then when i place a new block at the position where the first block was mined then the bot can mine it again. The server is lifestealsmp.com and it supports crossplay with bedrock. Versions I tried: 1.20.4, 1.21.4, 1.21.8 all have the same result

Describe the solution you'd like

Does anyone know if thats a server side issue or do i need an additional handler for some events?

Describe alternatives you've considered

//

Additional context

Dont know if i need to give a code example cuz its pretty much just "await bot.dig(block)"

Can you reproduce with 50 lines of code or less and then send that code ?

Yes sure here you go. I basically just call the start function then the bot mines 1 block and then gets stuck on the 2. dig. Rn i run this in 1.21.8 but also works 1.20+

module.exports = function (bot, taskManager, logger) {

  //standard task setup
  const miningTask = {
    active: false,
    name: "mining",
    async start(bot) {
      this.active = true
      while (this.active) {
        
        await mineTwoBlocksInFront(0)
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000))
        await mineTwoBlocksInFront(1)
        
    }
      bot.emit("taskEnd")
      
    },
    stop(bot) {
      
      this.active = false
    }
  }

  async function mineTwoBlocksInFront (yOffset) {
    
    const pos1 = bot.entity.position.offset(1, yOffset, 0)
    const block1 = bot.blockAt(pos1)
    
    
    try {
      
      //simplified for debugging but still same error
      await bot.dig(block1)
      
    }catch (err) {
      console.log('Error mining block:', err)
    }
  }

  //register task
  taskManager.register("mine", miningTask)
  logger.log("mining registered")  

  
}
