I would really prefer if the statistics actually tracked using an item for its specific purpose, and wasn’t confounded with interactions that merely moved it. MC-298275 is very unpleasant to me. I want to see how many totems I’ve activated and apples I’ve eaten, not how many times I’ve moved either of those things in and out of a pot or shelf or item frame.
