Prevent offhand item from being used when selecting an area
In darker spaces, I often hold a light source block in the offhand to light up the area around me, such that I can see properly. However, when I use the wooden axe to select _pos2_ of a working area, this offhand item is used in addition to the selection, resulting in the light source being placed down. How do I align that with the behaviour of the wooden axe when selecting _pos1_, or using an axe to strip a log? In other words, I don't want the offhand item's usage to be triggered when using the axe.
