Interactive World
by Gjorgdy
Interactive World lets a pickaxe, shears, water, lava and concrete powder change blocks in the world, as small interactions added to the vanilla game.
What it does
Most interactions are triggered by clicking a block with a tool or using an item on it. A pickaxe turns a stone brick block into its cracked variant, shears strip moss from a block, and clay cracked blocks can be used to repair them. Vines turn a cobblestone block into its mossy variant when used on it.
Cauldrons react to items as well. Dirt placed in a cauldron filled with water turns into mud, concrete powder hardens into a solid block, and a wet sponge put in a cauldron with lava dries out. Dispensers pointed at cauldrons can perform the same interactions, so automated setups can use them too.
The mod is a Fabric package for 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, and it needs Fabric API. Some options can be turned off or limited to crouching, and they are stored in a config file that the mod creates. The optional Fzzy Config mod offers an in-game screen for these settings, and changes made to the file are picked up by the vanilla reload command, though some options need a full client or server restart to take effect.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want small vanilla-style interactions and server owners who want to tune which ones are active. Only the server needs the mod to function, so players can join without installing it.
How it compares
Insoluble Concrete is a Fabric server mod for 1.20.3 – 26.3, open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it covers concrete hardening. Sheared Vines is also a Fabric mod with an open source MIT License, but it targets 26.1 – 26.2 only and deals with vines alone. Remove Moss from Stone works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20 – 26.3 and is not open source, so it covers only the moss removal part.

What the author says
A bunch of small interactions that add a bit more depth to the game, and make use of items and blocks that are often overlooked. All features can be enabled, disabled, or for some set to 'only when crouching' in the config file.
