`play` · `0x1A` · **serverbound** (client → server)

Sent when the player right-clicks an entity. `target` is the entity id, the action is interact or interact-at (`location` is the hit point relative to the entity), `hand` is the hand used, and `usingSecondaryAction` is the sneak flag. The server runs the entity's interaction logic (trade, mount, shear, and so on).

Sent by the client, read by the server. Listen for it with `client.on("Interact", (data) => …)` on the receiving side.

## Fields

## Send it

```ts
await client.sendPacket("Interact", {
  target: /* VarInt */,
  hand: /* VarInt */,
  location: /* LpVec3 */,
  usingSecondaryAction: /* Boolean */,
});
