Crafty Hands
Crafty Hands lets dispensers act like a player: craft gloves placed in a dispenser simulate left and right clicks on the block it faces.
What it does
Two glove items, one for left clicks and one for right clicks, are placed in a dispenser. When the dispenser receives a redstone signal, it uses the glove to simulate the matching click on the block entity it faces. The mod is in the Technology category and is published for Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The authors note it should work with most mods, and unusual behavior can be reported on the issue tracker.
