Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with WorldGuard 7.0.14, WorldEdit 7.3.16, and Paper 1.21.8, testing the listed mobs and shears interactions in a protected area. Use the linked Minecraft shears update history to identify the new interaction cases; done means permission-less players are blocked consistently while permitted interactions still work, with coverage for the supported mob cases.

Bug Description

Even without permission, players can right-click many mobs with shears to remove saddles, cut lead, etc.

Expected Behavior

WorldGuard should block players without permission from doing this.

Reproduction Steps
  1. Within the WorldGuard-protected area, prepare various armored mob: happy_ghast, each llama variant, each horse variant, strider, pig, camel, and others.(I can't guarantee a complete list.)https://minecraft.wiki/w/Shears#Shearing
  2. Have permission-less players right-click these mobs while holding shears.
Optional WorldGuard-Report

No response

Anything Else?

“It should be the new Shears mechanism introduced in 1.21.6+.”
You can refer to the shears update history on the wiki.
