Universal Blocking — A Mod for Fine-Tuning Gameplay

Universal Blocking is a powerful tool that allows detailed control over Minecraft gameplay through a system of flags and tags.

🔧 Functionality and Commands

The mod introduces three main commands that open up new management possibilities:

• /tagall — applies tags to all inventory contents
• /tagitem — tags the item currently held by the player
• /ubr — performs backup restoration of configuration settings

🔨 Flag-Based Blocking System

Using special flags, various actions with items and blocks can be restricted:

• D — prevents dealing damage with item
• U — blocks usage when right-clicking
• I — disables interaction with block interface
• P — prevents block placement
• B — prohibits breaking blocks with this item
• A — blocks wearing armor or holding items in hands
• Z — completely removes items from inventory, containers, and as drops
• C — forbids item crafting
• T — hides items from creative mode tab
• Q — removes all previously set restrictions
• R — replaces blocks with air or specified alternatives
