Plants Control
by ViperT
Plants Control lets a player hide chosen plant blocks from view, and lets server operators enforce the same settings across a server.
What it does
Plants Control is a lightweight Fabric mod for selectively hiding plant blocks from rendering, which gives a cleaner and clearer view when exploring, building or in PvP. Hidden plants stay in the world; only their drawing is switched off. Attacking mobs and mining blocks behind hidden plants also works, since the hit passes through the plant. Cloth Config API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen from the mod list.
On single-player worlds the mod can also stop chosen plants from spawning naturally in newly generated chunks, which keeps the terrain clean from the start. Server operators can enforce the mod's settings with server-side support, syncing them to clients and deciding whether clients need the mod installed. A server kick delay of 2 to 30 seconds sets how long the server waits before removing clients that lack the mod. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source; its source code is public. It is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, with 1.5.0 as the latest beta file.
Key features
Selective plant hiding
Each plant type can be chosen individually, so only the plants picked by the player stop rendering.
Hit-through interaction
Mobs can be attacked and blocks mined through hidden plants, so hiding them does not block gameplay.
Plant generation control
Chosen plants can be kept from spawning in new chunks, available in single-player worlds.
Server operator controls
Only operators can change server settings, through a permission-locked GUI and the grm sgui command.
In-game commands
The grm command family toggles hiding, shows status, and opens the client or server screens.

Use cases
Cleaner exploration
Players who find dense plant growth hard to see through can hide those plants in a single-player world while travelling or building.
Server-wide consistency
Server owners can require the mod and sync plant settings, so every player sees the same view of the world.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want a clearer view of the terrain and server owners who want to enforce the same plant settings for all players.
