Reach Behind
by Fuzs
Players who place item frames, signs or banners over a chest can reach it through the decoration with Reach Behind, a mod for Fabric and NeoForge.
What it does
Reach Behind lets a click pass through a decoration to the usable block behind it, such as a chest, a crafting table or another interactive block. A player no longer needs to aim around a decoration to open what sits underneath it.
An optional empty-hand mode stops clicks from editing signs, placing items or triggering other decoration interactions unless the hand is empty. Support lists control which attached blocks and entities let clicks through, and the mod includes hooks for other compatible mods when they are present. Fabric API, Forge Config API Port and Puzzles Lib are required. The mod is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and it is available for 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge.
Key features
Click through decorations
Clicks made on a decoration reach usable blocks positioned behind it, including blocks covered by frames and signs.
Hidden storage access
Chests and other containers attached to decorative blocks or entities open without clicking around the decoration.
Functional blocks behind decorations
Crafting tables and other interactive blocks stay usable while covered by supported decorations.
Empty-hand safety option
An optional mode requires an empty hand, so applying items to signs and other normal decoration uses keep working.
Customisable support lists
Server owners and players choose which attached blocks and entities pass clicks through.

Who it’s for: Players and builders who decorate with item frames, signs and banners, and server owners who want those builds to stay usable.
