holding food should not hurt mobs or destroy blocks

I really wish when holding food* it would not be possible to hurt mobs or destroy blocks (in creative). *actually it would be really nice if only weapons could do damage and only tools could destroy blocks.

In creative feeding chickens by touch holding them invariably breaks the blocks by them - so does throwing potions - and so it's really annoying to have to rebuild what was destroyed. Taming animals it is too easy for the button to disappear as you try to tap it and you then may harm the animal.

Surely it would be much better, certainly for my 6 year son it would be, to feed/tame by just tapping/tap-holding the animal rather than trying to tap an awkwardly placed button.

This is not a bug, this is a feature request. Please see the forums for feature requests.

This issue works as intended. If you have a request for Minecraft Pocket Edition, please go to the Minecraft Forums -> MCPE: Suggestions.

Ah sorry about not realising about feature requests, but surely it's easier/better to track feature requests via Jira than forums.

And anyway, IMHO it's a bug to destroy blocks (in creative) as you're feeding/taming animals, so please fix that.

If you are breeding in creative use a spawn egg instead.
