Attack Through Grass
Attack Through Grass lets a player hit mobs standing behind grass, cobwebs and other non-collidable blocks.
What it does
Normally a hit stops at the first block in the line of sight, so tall grass or a cobweb can hide a target. This mod changes that check so the attack reaches the mob behind any block whose state has no collision, such as portals, open trapdoors and single-layer snow. The mod is a single mixin with one injected method, so it leaves the rest of the game code alone.
The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric and no other dependency on Forge or NeoForge. It runs on the client only, so players install it and servers do not need it, but installing it on a server opts that server out for all clients from version 2.1.0 onward. Builds cover 1.18.2 – 26.3 for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with snapshot builds published. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Works with any non-collidable block
Portals, open trapdoors and single-layer snow are all covered by the same rule.
Minimal code footprint
A single mixin with one injected method keeps the change small and straightforward to read.

Use cases
Survival and combat play
