GhostTap

Hi :) GhostTap is a small client-side Fabric mod that lets you interact with blocks hidden behind thin decorations.

Ever placed an item frame, sign, banner, or wall torch in front of a chest, and then had to carefully aim around it just to open the chest?

GhostTap fixes that.

With GhostTap, you can right-click the decoration, and the mod will try to interact with the usable block behind it.

Hold Shift to use normal vanilla behavior.

What can I use it for?

GhostTap is useful for cleaner builds, hidden storage, decorative walls, compact rooms, and bases where you want things to look good without making them annoying to use.

Examples:

• Open a chest behind an item frame
• Open a barrel behind a wall sign
• Use a container hidden behind a banner
• Interact through a wall torch
• Keep decorative blocks in place without breaking them
• Build cleaner storage rooms and hidden utility walls

Enabled by default

These objects work with GhostTap right out of the box:

• Item frames
• Glow item frames
• Wall signs
• Wall banners
• Wall torches

Supported target blocks

GhostTap works with many normal usable blocks behind supported decorations, including:

• Chests
• Trapped chests
• Barrels
• Shulker boxes
• Furnaces
• Blast furnaces
• Smokers
• Hoppers
• Droppers
• Dispensers
• Brewing stands
• Other compatible blocks with normal right-click interaction

Special interactions

Some blocks need special handling because their behavior depends on the held item or block state.

GhostTap includes dedicated support for:

• Cauldrons
• Composters
• Bee nests
• Beehives
• Jukeboxes
• Decorated pots
• Respawn anchors
• Note blocks
• Campfires
• Bells

Risky options

GhostTap also has optional support for more sensitive click-through objects:

• Paintings
• Wall heads / skulls
• Ladders
• Vines
• Glow lichen
• Sculk veins
• Wall coral fans

⚠️ These options are disabled by default.

They may be unwanted or disallowed on some multiplayer servers. Before enabling risky options, check the server rules or ask the server staff/admins first.

Use risky options at your own responsibility.

Config

GhostTap creates a config file automatically on first launch:

.minecraft/config/ghosttap.json

You can edit it with any text editor.

Main options:

{
  "enabled": true,
  "riskyThroughObjects": false,
  "specialInteractions": true
}

If Mod Menu is installed, GhostTap also provides an in-game configuration screen.

Changes made through the in-game config screen apply after saving. If you edit the JSON file manually, restart the game after changing the config.

Compatibility

GhostTap is client-side only.

If another mod with similar click-through functionality is detected, GhostTap disables itself to avoid conflicts and shows a warning to the local player.

🔒 The warning is only shown to you. It is not sent to server chat.

Localization

GhostTap includes localized text for the configuration screen, Mod Menu description, and compatibility warning messages.

Supported languages:

English, Russian, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.4
• Fabric Loader 0.16.0 or newer
• Java 21
• Fabric API 0.110.5 or newer

Optional:

• Mod Menu 13.0.0 or newer

Mod Menu is only needed for the in-game configuration screen. GhostTap can still work without Mod Menu.
