Preventer Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I enable protection for a specific action?
Open your mod config file and locate the list of preventable actions. Set the action you want to protect to `true`. The mod will then block that action until you hold down the configured keybind (R by default).
What's the default keybind to perform a protected action?
The default keybind is R. While holding R, you can perform any protected action without the mod blocking it. You can change this keybind in the mod's configuration settings.
Can I protect named items from being used?
Yes, the mod can prevent you from placing, eating, or using items with custom names. Tools, weapons, and armor with custom names are excluded from this protection by default.
Why can't I strip this log?
Log stripping is protected by default in this mod. Hold down your configured keybind (R by default) while right-clicking the log to strip it intentionally.
How do I disable protection for an action I don't need?
Open your mod config file and set that action to `false`. The mod will no longer prevent that action, and you can perform it normally without holding any keybind.
Can I protect myself from using fireworks while flying?
Yes, the mod has a specific protection for firework rockets that only blocks their use when you're not flying. Enable this in your config to prevent accidental firework use during normal gameplay.
Does this mod work with other mods?
Preventer Mod works alongside most other mods without issues. It only intercepts the specific vanilla actions listed in its features, so it won't conflict with other mod mechanics.
Can I protect beds in the Nether and End?
Yes, the mod can prevent you from using beds in the Nether and End dimensions where they would explode. Enable this protection in your config to avoid accidental bed use in these dimensions.
What happens if I hold the keybind by accident?
If you hold the keybind while performing an action, the protection is bypassed and the action completes normally. Simply release the key to re-enable protection for your next action.
Can I protect chiseled bookshelves from accidental changes?
Yes, the mod can prevent you from placing books into or removing books from chiseled bookshelves. Hold your configured keybind while interacting with the bookshelf to intentionally add or remove books.
