ClickThrough Forge
by NexSqaud
ClickThrough Forge lets a click on a chest, barrel or shulker box pass through an item frame or sign placed in front of it, so the container opens anyway.
What it does
Item frames and signs normally block the right click aimed at a container behind them. With this mod installed, the click reaches the chest, barrel or shulker box, and the container opens instead. The same applies to the placed sign used by ChestShop style plugins, where sneaking still works as before. The mod suits storage setups where chests sit sideways against walls covered in frames and signs. It runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.19.2 only, and only the client needs it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the mod was first published on 2023-04-18.
Players can rotate items in item frames while interacting with the signs and containers around them. Files exist for 1.19.2 alone.
Key features
Click passes through frames
A right click aimed at a container behind an item frame opens the container instead of interacting with the frame.
Sign-fronted containers
Chests, barrels and shulker boxes behind a sign open normally, so sign-based shop layouts stay usable.
Sneaking still works
Sneaking remains the way to place blocks or use the sign itself, so existing habits carry over.

What the author says
When you clicking on container (chest, shulker, barrel, etc.) with item frame or sign on side, opens a container instead. You can rotate items in frame and interact with signs (eg. ChestShop plugin signs) when sneaking.
