 Description   

I started a world on survival and started playing I made some awesome things and I had bonus chest: on and cheats: on. It was going pretty great until I used /gamemode and changed it to creative mode so I could make some sort of large structure. I switched back to survival and everything was fine for about one hour and then I could not break any blocks whatsoever. I tried using my hands to break all kinds of different blocks and they would not break it was as if I was hitting air. I tried hitting dirt with a shovel and to my surprise it broke. I did not find out what the cause was until I eventually made another world and then was able to pinpoint the problem. If you have an item or not item in your hand you can not break any blocks. I fixed it by putting all my inventory items in a chest on my broken world then I found my coordinates. after that I made another world and replaced the broken level.dat with my new ones and had to f3 and just search for my previous coordinates

Please force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while ingame and attach the crash report here when this happens.

You will have accidentally put yourself into adventure mode. In this mode you can only break blocks with the tools given to you.
