Short Grass
by b1n-ry
Short Grass, a small Fabric mod by b1n-ry, swaps the tall grass texture for a shorter model so grass sits lower and blocks less of the view.
What it does
The mod changes one thing: the shape of the grass block model, which is replaced with a shorter version. Players who find tall grass obstructive, or who have trouble hitting small targets such as chickens hiding in it, get a clearer view without any change to how grass grows or drops items. It is designed for a cleaner look rather than a new gameplay system. Environment: it is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone. Required dependency: Fabric API. The code is open source under the MIT License. Files are published for Fabric, for 1.18 – 1.21.1, with 1.3.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest build.
Key features
Shorter grass model
Replaces the tall grass block shape with a lower one, so grass covers less of the scene.
Easier targeting
Small mobs such as chickens hidden in grass are easier to hit, since the model no longer blocks as much.
Cleaner visuals
The change keeps the game looking tidy, while small grass details stay in place.

What the author says
This is a really small fabric mod which will only do one thing, and that is to replace your grass and tall texture and block shape with shorter ones. This way it'll be easier to hit those stupid chicken that always try to hide in the grass. It will also help the game to look cleaner. There will still be that small…
