💡 Inspiration

Original Idea: Reddit r/minecraftsuggestions

"Suggestion to make so that if you punch a mob while holding a feather, it takes no damage and doesn't get hostile towards you (for iron golems, dogs etc.), that way you can push mobs wherever you like."

This plugin brings that brilliant community idea to life with a clean, lightweight implementation.
