Tips

• Use Cancel Event after an Event Trigger to prevent the event from completing (e.g., block a player from breaking a block).
• Events like player_chat provide the %message% placeholder so you can read or filter chat content.
• Server lifecycle events (server_start, server_stop) do not have a triggering player.
• player_interact fires for right-clicks on blocks and air; it does not fire for entity right-clicks — use player_interact_entity for those.
• player_interact_entity fires on right-click against any entity or NPC. Combine it with a Check Interaction condition to filter by entity type, ID, or name.
• inventory_move_item fires whenever a player moves an item in their inventory (click, shift-click, number key, drag). Use Cancel Event to prevent the move.
