How to make hitboxes "invisible" to player's interactions?

[Jetug]

I'm making a mod that adds mechanical armor. Armor is an entity with multiple hitboxes (I made it with PartEntity objects) and these hitboxes don't let me interact with the world (like breaking blocks or opening chests) when I start riding this entity.My code

I am not sure I understand what you are doing, but entity hitboxes are controlled by Entity.getDimensions(Pose). See Entity.refreshDimensions() for the full logic.

For how the game determines what to interact with, see GameRenderer.pick()

Does the forge have some method that allows you to disable interaction with the hitbox for a specific player? Or can I override GameRenderer.pick()?

Why is your Armor a Entity(Part)? This should be done via a LayerRenderer.

Because I need multiple hitboxes to determine which part was damaged.

Or maybe it is because support has ended for 1.16.5

I'm not asking for a solution only for 1.16.5, a solution for more current versions will be fine as well
