SplitRightClick
by cutebear
SplitRightClick separates the interact and place actions of the right mouse button, so each can be bound to its own key.
What it does
Normally the right mouse button both opens blocks such as chests and places the held block. With this mod, a separate keybind handles interacting with blocks, while the place action stays on its own control. Players can open a chest without placing a block by accident, and place blocks without opening the object they point at, a behavior modeled on how Hytale handles the same input.
Crouching changes the result: a player who crouches can place a block against an interactable block without opening it, and uncrouching returns the normal interaction. Flying in creative mode has its own handling, where a held place button keeps placing blocks and the space bar can drop the player to a lower Y level. Redstone dust line changes are also covered by the place button.
The mod is client-side only, so the server does not need it, and players on any server can use it alongside vanilla controls. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Builds are published for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 1.21 – 26.1.2 across 13 release versions, and the latest files target 1.21.11.
Key features
Separate interact and place keys
Interacting with blocks and placing blocks are split onto different keybinds, so one click no longer does both.

Crouching lets a player place a block against an interactable block without triggering its interaction.
Creative flying placement
While flying in creative mode, a held place button keeps placing blocks.
Modded block interaction
The interact button also reaches blocks added by other mods, using the same separated input.

Use cases
Building beside chests and furnaces
Players building around containers can place blocks next to them without opening the containers.

Who it’s for: Players who want the place and interact actions on separate controls, especially builders who often open blocks by mistake, and players who already use Hytale-style input.

What the author says
This mod has not been tested on server with anti-cheat and I am not resposible for any issue with anti-cheat This is a mod that split the key used for interacting with blocks and placing blocks since I am too lazy to fix my mussle memory after playing Hytale.
