Click Ward
Every Minecraft player knows the sinking feeling. You swing your pickaxe at a log, but your cursor is slightly off. Instead of mining, you strip the bark. You meant to place a torch, but you scrape the copper block clean. Or worse, you accidentally remove wax from a carefully built structure. These irreversible right-click actions can ruin hours of work in a single misclick. Click Ward is a client-side mod designed to put a deliberate safety step between you and those permanent mistakes.
What Does Click Ward Do?
Click Ward intercepts specific right-click interactions before they are sent to the server. When you attempt a protected action, the mod cancels it locally and requires a second, deliberate confirmation. This double-step process ensures you never perform an irreversible action by accident. The mod matches the exact dimension, target block, face, hand, held item, and action. This means protection is precise and context-aware, not a blunt tool that slows down all gameplay.
Core Protective Actions
The primary focus of Click Ward is preventing accidental block state changes. The mod covers several common griefs:
- Stripping logs and wood blocks with an axe.
- Scraping oxidation off copper blocks.
- Removing wax from copper blocks.
- Optional protection for creating paths with a shovel.
- Optional protection for tilling dirt with a hoe.
Each of these actions is configurable. You can toggle protection for each action individually, giving you full control over your workflow.
How the Confirmation System Works
Click Ward offers two distinct modes to suit your playstyle. The default mode uses a 700-millisecond double-use confirmation. This means you must click the block, wait for the visual feedback, and then click again to confirm. The second mode is a hold-to-confirm system. You press and hold the right mouse button for a configurable duration to execute the action. Both modes provide clear visual feedback.
Visual Feedback and Bypass
When a protected action is attempted, the targeted block face is highlighted with a gold preview. This tells you exactly what will be affected. After you confirm the action, the highlight changes to green, signaling that the operation is approved. For players who are doing rapid, intentional work, Click Ward includes an optional Alt key bypass. Holding the Alt key while right-clicking skips the confirmation entirely, allowing for uninterrupted building or farming when you are in a flow state.
Privacy and Fair-Play Scope
Click Ward operates entirely on the client side. It cancels a protected interaction locally before it is sent to the server. After confirmation, it allows the standard, matching action to proceed. The mod does not replay or fabricate packets, does not automate mining or building, and does not inspect hidden server information. This keeps the mod within the bounds of fair play on most servers. It is a safety tool, not an automation tool.
Compatibility and Supported Versions
Click Ward is built for Minecraft Java Edition, supporting versions from 1.16.5 through 26.1.2. It works across multiple mod loaders, including Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge, wherever that loader is officially supported for your selected Minecraft version. Because it is client-side only, there is no server installation required and no custom network payload. The mod also includes six built-in interface languages, making it accessible to a wide audience.
When you are ready to try it, the easiest way to get started is to use the foxygame.net launcher, which offers a one-click install for Click Ward and automatically handles the correct version and loader compatibility for your Minecraft setup.
How to Install Click Ward
Installing Click Ward is a straightforward process, but it requires attention to detail. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth setup:
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- First, determine your exact Minecraft version and the mod loader you are using (Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge).
- Next, download Click Ward from a trusted mod repository, ensuring you select the file that matches your specific version and loader.
- Check the file page for any required API or dependency mods. Install those as well, as they are often necessary for the mod to function.
- Place the downloaded jar file into your
modsfolder. This folder is typically located in your.minecraftdirectory. - Launch Minecraft with the corresponding loader profile and verify that Click Ward appears in your mod list.
Always follow the rules of the server you play on. While Click Ward is client-side and does not modify server data, some servers may have specific policies regarding mods. It is always best to check.
