ClickThrough Plus
by Cassian
With ClickThrough Plus, right-clicking a sign or item frame attached to a chest, barrel or shulker box opens that container instead of the marker.
What it does
A sign or item frame attached to a container normally just shows text or an item. This mod changes that interaction so the click passes through the marker and opens the container behind it. Signs and frames in front of chests, shulker boxes, barrels and similar containers all behave this way.
The change runs only on the client, so the server does not need the mod and players can join servers without installing anything on the server side. Sneaking while clicking still rotates an item in a frame or edits a sign, so those actions remain available. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 30 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3, and Architectury API is required on every loader, with Fabric API also required on Fabric. McQoy is optional and is recommended for configuring the mod. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Container access through signs
Right-clicking a sign attached to a container opens the container rather than the sign's text editor.
Container access through item frames
Right-clicking an item frame on a container opens the container, keeping the frame's item in place.
Sneak to edit or rotate
Sneaking while clicking a sign or item frame still edits the sign or rotates the framed item.
Client-only operation
The behavior is applied on the player's side, so containers on the server keep their normal logic.

Use cases
Labelled storage rooms
Players who mark chests with signs or frames can open them with a single click while building storage areas.
Shared server bases
Players on a server that does not run the mod can still use the feature on their own clients.
Who it’s for: Players who store items in labelled or framed containers, and players who want quicker access to chests, barrels and shulker boxes marked with signs or item frames.
