Intangible Effect
by ShrHang
Intangible Effect gives players a status effect that lets them fly and pass through walls, with optional damage reduction that spends effect duration.
What it does
While the Intangible effect is active, a player can fly and move through solid blocks, which is the core use of the mod: getting through walls, floors and structures while maintaining large builds. Potions of Intangibility and Long Potion Intangibility apply the effect, and their recipes use adjustable ingredients.
The effect is modeled on the Intangible buff from Slay Spire. When damage reduction is on, most incoming damage above 1 is cut to 1, and each successful reduction consumes part of the effect's remaining duration; by default a reduction costs 600 ticks, or 30 seconds. Once the remaining duration is used up, the effect is removed. Two damage type tags decide which damage types bypass the effect, and the intangible:bypasses_intangible tag marks the rest as handled by it. Server owners can disable the damage reduction and keep only flight and wall phasing through intangible-server.toml.
The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge across 15 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.2, and it runs on client and server, so both sides need it. The code is open source under the MIT License. Durations and recipe ingredients are set in intangible-startup.toml, and changes apply after a restart. The overlay color and transparency are set in intangible-client.toml.
Key features
Flight and wall phasing
The Intangible effect lets a player fly and pass through solid blocks, which helps with reaching inside large structures.
Damage reduction
Most incoming damage above 1 is reduced to 1 while the effect lasts, and this part can be turned off in the server config.
Duration cost
Each successful damage reduction consumes effect duration, with a default cost of 600 ticks, and the effect ends once no duration remains.
Damage type tags
Two damage type tags control which damage types the effect handles, and the bypass tag marks the rest.
Potions and recipes
Intangibility and Long Intangibility potions apply the effect, and their durations and recipe ingredients can be adjusted in the startup config.
Overlay appearance
The translucent overlay can be recolored and made more or less transparent in the client config, or replaced with a texture in a resource pack.

What the author says
When you have finally built a huge factory, a complex pipe network, or a deeply nested multiblock machine, only to find that one block you need to adjust is hidden deep within the structure. You might wish you could slip like a ghost into the gaps between buildings, or machines, fixing the issue and then get back…
