When attacking a rock crab (or monsters bbehave alike), once the rock crab turns into a rock, the character keeps attacking non-stop, and you can't move or change to Pickaxe by pressing any buttons, so you have to wait for the end of the day to die
If you're having trouble because your farmer will start attacking foes like zombies and rock crabs and not stop until the day ends, I discovered a workaround for it. It does require another mod, however. Keep in mind that this is a workaround, not a true fix.
I have CJB's Item Spawner installed. It allows me to pull up a menu with a hotkey (the letter i). When I pull up this menu, it also gives me access to the hotbar. Once I have access to the hotbar, I pull my weapon out of the active slot (usually I just swap spots for my pickaxe and weapon). Once I no longer have a weapon in the active slot, my character stops attacking.
Other mods that pull up a menu and give access to the hotbar might also work. If people want to comment with mods that worked for them, that might be helpful. I hope this post helps other people! It let me keep the Auto Attack mod. :)
This mod has helped me a LOT, as I have hand and wrist issues that make multiple rapid clicks very difficult for me. Thank you very much for creating this mod!
As others have mentioned, when encountering an invincible foe (such as a rock crab or a bug in the Skull Cavern) my farmer will begin attacking them and won't stop. I can't change tools with either keyboard or mouse, I can't move away, and I can't even press escape to pause the game! This is such a good mod, but getting stuck like this is very frustrating. A hotkey to disable auto attack, or the ability to switch tools mid-attack, might solve this issue.
Thank you again. This is an excellent mod, despite this issue.
Works fine exept I sometimes get into an infinate attacking loop on anemies like the rock crabs that don't die unless they pop up. Is there a way to toggle the auto attack so I can stop this?
Having the same issue. If I accidently walk by one I get stuck and have to just stand there and wait until I pass out. I don't understand why it won't let me move away.

could this be fixed to work with custom companions? I get tons of SMAPI errors if I install CC, which is required for East Scarp and some other expansion mods. It also doesn't properly deal with monsters all the time -- I've had monsters scoot right in to attack me without the mod responding.
Thanks for the good mod Monster auto-attack now works properly. But if you click the button key P in "CJB Cheat Menu" mode, An error occurs. I get the same error on the 32 bit version as well.
