SwordSight
SwordSight lets weapons pass through non-solid plants such as tall grass and flowers, so a hit can reach an enemy standing behind them.
What it does
Weapon swings normally stop on grass, tall grass, flowers, vines and similar clutter. SwordSight makes the chosen weapon types ignore those blocks, so the line of sight to an enemy stays clear. A player can also set whether a fully-grown crop still blocks hits or lets the weapon through, which matters for anyone who wants to keep crops farmable while fighting nearby.
The mod is a Fabric mod that players need for the hit-through behavior, while a server can run it to share one list of blocks with everyone. Files are built for 1.21 – 26.3, with 17 release versions and 1.2 as the latest Fabric file for 26.3. SwordSight is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Hit-through for weapons
Chosen weapon types pass through non-solid plant blocks, so enemies behind grass or flowers can be struck.
Growth-stage handling
Crops get separate rules, so a weapon can pass a young plant while a fully-grown one still blocks hits.
Dual-list block picker
A JEI and REI style picker lets players choose exactly which blocks are ignored and which are kept.
In-game configuration menu
A full menu edits the settings, and a reset option restores the shipped defaults for a personal profile.
Default plant list
The default configuration covers grasses, crops, flowers, vines, corals and other non-solid clutter.
Commands and shortcut
The swordsight and swords commands open the configuration menu, and M opens it by default, rebindable in Controls.

How it compares
Growth Mobs is a client and server Fabric mod for 26.1.2 under All rights reserved, so it changes more of the game than SwordSight's hit-through. Swing Through Grass is server-side only and released under the MIT License for 1.19.2 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so players join it without installing anything. Swords Break Grass is also released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its server is required while clients may leave it out.
