'''Interaction''' entities are a technical [[entity]], useful for map or data pack creators to see who the last player to click on a certain spot is. They can only be created with the {{cmd|summon}} or {{cmd|execute summon}} commands.
Interaction entities are invisible, invincible and of a custom size. Their [[Hitbox|boundary box]] can be viewed via the {{key|F3}} + {{key|B}} debug shortcut.

== Behavior ==
Interaction entities record the [[UUID]] of the last player that left-clicked and right-clicked them, and the time at which the interaction happened. If <code>response</code> is set to true, left-clicking an interaction entity plays a punching sound, and right-clicking it makes the player's arm swing.

== Usage ==
You can check information on who last left-clicked and right-clicked on the interaction entity with the {{cmd|data get entity}} command. This information can be useful in datapack and map creation. You can also change their size to match the area you want to be checked.

=== Advancement triggers ===
* Interacting with (right-clicking) an interaction entity triggers <code>[[Custom advancement#minecraft:player_interacted_with_entity|player_interacted_with_entity]]</code>.
* Attacking (left-clicking) an interaction entity triggers <code>[[Custom advancement#minecraft:player_hurt_entity|player_hurt_entity]]</code>.

=== Commands ===
The interaction entity targets the player who last interacted with it. That makes the following possible:
* {{cmd|execute on attacker}} execute as the last player who attacked (left-clicked) the entity.
* {{cmd|execute on target}} execute as the last player who interacted with (right-clicked) the entity.
