Description

preview Allows targeting living entities through transparent blocks.
Requires Connector on neoforge.

This mod discards the block crosshair target to allow an entity to be targeted instead, when:

  • The block has empty collision
  • The entity is living and attackable
  • You're not directly riding the entity
  • The entity is within reach (exact interaction range in 1.21)

Thanks to this implementation, the block outline will also disappear while you're targeting the entity.

Technical Notes

This mod is comprised of a single mixin with about 4 lines of meaningful code:

  • 2 lines to use the full entity targeting range if the block meets the conditions
  • 2 lines to discard the block target if the full range was used and the entity meets the conditions

It performs no additional raycasts or radius searches.

Afterword

All mods are built on the work of many others; Please support the wider community.
