Cats Don't Sit on Chests
by Agent6052
Cats Don't Sit on Chests stops cats from sitting on chests, so a tamed cat no longer blocks a player from opening one.
What it does
Tamed cats that would settle onto a chest now stay clear of it, which keeps the chest usable without the cat having to be moved by hand. The change relies on a cats-sit tag added in 26.3 Snapshot 3, so it only applies to 26.3 builds. The server requires the mod, and players may add it on the client for the same behavior; the license is MIT License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Chests stay openable
A cat sitting on a chest no longer prevents the player from opening it.
Cats avoid chests automatically
Cats do not settle onto chests on their own, so no manual moving is needed.
Uses the 26.3 cats-sit tag
The behavior is built on the new cats-sit tag introduced in 26.3 Snapshot 3.

What the author says
Cats siting on chests and preventing you from opening them can be very annoying. This datapack makes it so that cats will no longer automatically sit on chests. This is possible since 26.3 Snapshot 3 added a new "cats_can_sit_on" tag.
