PassThrough

by halkait7

With PassThrough, a held whitelisted item lets right-click and block placement pass through entities, so blocks behind them can be reached.

What it does

PassThrough ignores entity hitboxes during raytracing for items on a whitelist. Holding a whitelisted item and right-clicking acts as if the entities were not there, so a block placed behind a player or mob can be targeted. The whitelist can be edited in a screen that accepts registry names such as minecraft:web, numeric IDs such as 30, and bulk lists separated by commas or newlines, either typed or pasted from the clipboard through an Import button.

The mod is a client-side tool for Forge 1.8.9 and covers minigame and utility uses, such as building in cobweb-heavy arenas. It can be switched on and off, a Smart Attack option suspends passthrough while the player is attacking so combat works normally, and left-click still registers hits. Settings open through the OneConfig menu, and a chat command toggles the mode. Server owners who run a community server can ban players who break its rules, since the mod itself makes no server-side change.

Only the client needs the mod, and servers run without it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is published alongside the release. Files exist for 1.8.9 only, and the latest build, 1.0.1, was released on 2026-01-16 after a first publication on 2026-01-01. The mod is Forge-only and does not support other loaders or versions.

Key features

  1. Whitelist hitbox passthrough

    Entities are skipped by raytracing only for items on the whitelist, so other items interact normally.

  2. Click-through block placement

    Blocks can be placed behind entities while the whitelisted item is held, without moving around them.

  3. Whitelist editor

    Item IDs can be typed, pasted in bulk, or imported from comma or newline separated lists.

  4. Smart Attack

    Passthrough pauses while the player attacks, and left-click hits register as usual.

Use cases

Building in cobweb arenas

Competitive server play

Server owners running minigame servers can enforce their rules with bans, while players keep the mod on their side.

Who it’s for: Players of Forge 1.8.9 minigames who need to place blocks behind other players or mobs, and server owners of such minigame communities.

Questions

Does PassThrough need to be installed on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Which Minecraft version does PassThrough support?

Files exist for 1.8.9 only, and the latest Forge file, 1.0.1, was published on 2026-01-16.

Does Smart Attack stop passthrough from interfering with combat?

Yes. Passthrough is suspended while the player is attacking, and left-click still registers hits as normal.

What the author says

Click through players to place blocks. Cobwebs, F&S, whatever you add to the whitelist. Hold a whitelisted item, right-click through entities like they're not there. The mod ignores their hitboxes during raytrace so you can place blocks behind them.
