Delay right-clicking with tools to prevent accidental block changes
About this Mod
NOTE: This mod is packaged as part of Great Big World and was made a standalone mod so that players can enjoy it separately. Do not download both with the intent of using them together.
Delay Tool Usage
A simple mod that adds a 4-tick delay when right-clicking with Axes or Shovels before interacting with a block. Once the delay is up, right-click functionality works at normal speed. This prevents accidental log stripping or shovel pathing.
This mod is free to use in modpacks with credit.
