Interaction Manager

Screenshot of the Interactions Menu, showing the available options.

Interaction Manager is a client side mod allowing you to toggle certain block and mob interactions. This mod aims to streamline the player experience, as some may find many vanilla features annoying or unnecessary. By default, vanilla behaviour is preserved.

Simply Enable or Disable

Shovels creating paths
Axes stripping blocks
Fireworks working on blocks
Attacking hostile mobs
Attacking passive mobs
Attacking villagers
Breaking blocks

It also gives you the option to stop the player from attacking your pets, others' pets or all tamable mobs. You can blacklist blocks, so that you can't break them.

These options are easily found in the in game _Interactions_ menu. To access them go to _Options_>_Interactions_

If Mod Menu is installed, by default the Interactions button is hidden. And the settings can be accessed using Mod Menu. To show the Interacions button if Mod Menu is installed see the Config Section.
