Attack Entity Filter
Attack Entity Filter lets a player block attacks on chosen entities through a set of commands, so a player can avoid harming animals, villagers or other mobs by accident.
What it does
Entity attacks can be restricted with commands. An attack blacklist add command stops a player from attacking the entities given to it, and the remove command lifts that restriction on entities marked earlier. Entries can be applied to a whole entity type with addToAll and removeToAll, and clear empties the list.
Two query commands show what is currently protected: one lists the individual entities a player cannot attack, and the other lists the entity types. Other operators can designate a player as the target of these commands, so server staff can set the list for someone else.
The mod is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric alone, with files covering 1.21 – 1.21.8 and 1.0.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest build. The code is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Single entity blacklist
The add and remove commands mark or unmark individual entities so the player cannot attack them.
Entity type blacklist
The addToAll and removeToAll commands apply the same rule to every entity of a given type.
Clear and query commands
A clear command empties the protected list, and two get commands report the entities and types that cannot be attacked.
Designating other players
Operators can name another player as the target of these commands, not only themselves.
Compatibility

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who want to limit accidental attacks on entities through commands. Single-player players can also use the commands on their own world, since the mod runs on the server side.
How it compares
No Hitting Villagers is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, covering 1.21.10 – 1.21.11, so it changes what the player sees rather than the server. Rename Commands is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.4, and it renames commands instead of blocking attacks.
