Why am I damaging animals when I shear/breed them?
I hold shears, face a sheep, and tap the button at the bottom of the screen. The sheep will take damage about 50% of the time. Otherwise, it will work fine.
I am careful that the button is not on the sheep but the crosshairs are.
I have tried 3rd person mode.
I have this problem with breeding any animals too.
Why does this happen and how can I fix it?
