      If you switch between two shields in your main hand (so like one is in your 1st and one in your second hotbar slot), and you begin blocking and switch between them by blocking, you will appear to switch shields, then unblock for a very short time, then start blocking again.

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Get 2 shields. I used ones with 2 separate custom banner patterns but I doubt it matters if they are really different items as long as you have 2 shields.
      2. Go in F5 mode
      3. Make sure one shield is in your main hand and one is in any other hotbar slot (not off-hand).
      4. Start blocking
      5. Switch to the other shield
      6. Keep switching back and forth and notice the shield flickers

      Observed result

      Shield switches, then momentarily goes down, then goes up.

       

      Expected result

      Either the shield doesn't go down at all, or the flicker would happen before/as the shield switches, not after.

       

      Happens in both 1.19.4 and 1.20 snapshots (23w14a), but more prevalent in 23w14a. In 1.19.4 it is very hit-and-miss, but in 23w14a it almost always happens.
