Interaction Editor
by CJDev
Interaction Editor lets a player move and edit interaction entities in the world, using a trigger item and a few key-based controls.
What it does
The mod is a utility for editing Interaction Entities, which are invisible hitboxes that other content uses to detect clicks. Using a trigger, a player can summon a new interaction entity or edit a nearby one, with the editing controls applied to whichever entity is in range.
Movement is handled from the air: right-clicking in the air shifts the selected interaction in the direction opposite to where the player is looking, and holding the sprint key reverses that direction. The commands ie new and ie edit open the same functions from chat. The server must run the mod, while players may add it or leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across 11 release versions 1.21.6 – 26.3, with 1.1.1+mod for 26.3 as the latest file for each loader. The code is closed, and the mod is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. Source code is publicly linked. Snapshot builds are published as well.
Key features
Summon interaction entities
A trigger summons a new interaction entity at the player's position, ready to be positioned and edited.
Edit nearby entities
A second trigger selects the nearest interaction entity so its position and settings can be changed.
Air-click movement
Right-clicking in the air moves the selected interaction opposite to the player's view direction.
Sprint to invert
Holding the sprint key reverses the movement direction, so the same click can pull or push the entity.

How it compares
Interactweaks is a Forge-only mod for 1.12.2 under the Apache License 2.0, and it is open source, so it does not cover current versions. Freecam is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.11 – 26.3 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt; it moves the camera rather than entities. Hotbar Layout Editor is also client-side only and runs on Fabric for 1.21.4 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
