This can be fixed by adding the same check as in hitEntity, but replacing entity with block and entityInteractionRange with blockInteractionRange.

else if (gameType != GameType.CREATIVE && result.getHitBlock() != null && origin.toVector().distanceSquared(result.getHitPosition()) > this.player.blockInteractionRange() * this.player.blockInteractionRange()) {
                CraftEventFactory.callPlayerInteractEvent(this.player, Action.LEFT_CLICK_AIR, this.player.getInventory().getSelectedItem(), InteractionHand.MAIN_HAND);
            }

Reproduce the issue with the supplied /attribute command, then trace the PlayerInteractEvent handling near the hitEntity check and the interaction-range fields. Compare the existing entity-range behavior with the reported block-range condition. Done means LEFT_CLICK_AIR is triggered when the increased entity interaction range reaches a block, without triggering it when the interaction is out of range.
