Better Force Attack
Press a key (default F8) to open a panel that lists every creature and structure in the game — Toggle each one ON or OFF to decide whether your force attack (Ctrl) is allowed to hit it.
Tired of force attacking your own walls, pets, followers or passive critters by accident? Turn them OFF in the list and your force attack simply skips them — Even if they're standing right next to your real target. Normal combat against hostiles is never touched.

Features
- Configurable Force Attack — Every creature and structure in the game has a toggle. OFF means your force attack skips it; ON means it can be hit.
- Works Everywhere — The protection applies to every attack path: swinging, clicking directly, and controllers.
- Smart Defaults — Out of the box, your pets, beefalo, deer, birds, fish, butterflies, balloons and structures start OFF, while hostiles, bosses and nests stay ON. Tweak anything you like.
- Never Blocks The Wrong Target — If a protected creature is in the way, your force attack just passes over it and hits the next valid target behind it.
- Search & Filters — Find anything by name, filter by group: hostile, neutral, passive, structures, nests, or by current toggle (ON / OFF).
- Enable All & Disable All — Bulk-toggle everything currently shown (with confirmation).
- Saved Between Sessions — All your toggles and options are remembered.
- 11 Languages — English, Português, Español, 中文, 中文(繁體), 한국어, Русский, Français, Deutsch, Italiano and Polski.
- Smarter Search — Type the localized name or the English name — Both find it.

Options
- Auto Force Attack — When ON, every attack acts as a force attack — No need to hold Ctrl. Creatures set to OFF are still skipped.
- Extra Force Attack Reach — Let a force attack reach creatures farther away, you still walk over to them. Normal combat range is unchanged.
- Normal Attack Range — Extend how far players actually hit from tiles.
