SwordSight

⚔️ SwordSight: Server-Authoritative Hit Through the Clutter

SwordSight is a mod designed to enhance combat by preventing blocks like tall grass, flowers, and other non-solid clutter from blocking your weapon's line of sight, allowing you to hit enemies behind them seamlessly.

Alongside the original server-authoritative configuration system, SwordSight now ships with a full in-game configuration menu — a JEI/REI-style dual-list picker for choosing exactly which blocks are ignored, with dedicated handling for growth-stage crops so you can decide whether a fully-grown plant should still be farmable with your weapon.

🎯 Features

🖱️ In-Game Configuration Menu (Keybind: M)

Press M (default, fully rebindable in Controls) or run /swordsight//swords to open SwordSight's config menu directly — no more chat commands needed to see what's active.

• Two-list picker: an Active list on the left (blocks currently ignored) and an All Blocks list on the right (everything else you can enable), just like a JEI/REI item browser. Click an entry on either side to move it across.
• Smart sorting: the Active list follows a curated, farming-friendly order — grasses (short, tall, dry, sea) → other greens → flowers (short, then tall) → saplings → coral fans → coral → everything else in the same order as the vanilla creative inventory. The All Blocks list surfaces plant matter first (including modded flora), pushing logs and other solid blocks further down.
• Two editing profiles: My Settings is always yours to edit, personal and independent of any server. Editing: Server is available only in single-player, or to players with genuine server-verified permission in multiplayer — the button is always visible, but simply won't switch modes without the right access. Server-editing mode tints the list yellow so you always know which profile you're touching.
• Growth-stage crops, done properly: wheat, carrots, potatoes, beetroots, cocoa, nether wart, torchflower, pitcher plant, and sweet berry bush each get two dedicated entries — second-to-last stage and fully grown — rendered with their real in-game growth textures rather than a generic seed icon. Toggling them controls exactly how each crop behaves:
  • Second-to-last stage active: your weapon passes through every earlier growth stage, but the fully-grown plant still blocks hits — so it stays farmable.
  • Fully-grown stage also active: the plant is protected at every stage, including once it's fully grown.
• Clean icons: entries with a missing or broken texture are automatically filtered out, non-vanilla/custom skull blocks are excluded, and paired blocks like torch/wall-torch or a mob skull and its wall variant are merged into a single entry so you never see duplicates.
• Reset My List restores your personal profile back to the shipped defaults at any time.

🌐 Server-Authoritative Configuration

• Multiplayer Consistency: when installed on a dedicated server, the server's own block list acts as the source of truth for what's available at all — regular players only ever see and use blocks the server currently permits, keeping every player's experience consistent with server intent.
• Your Settings, Server Permitting: your own Active/Inactive choices always remain yours — the server doesn't overwrite your personal picks. Instead, it defines the boundary of what's possible: anything outside the server's allowed list simply won't function or appear, no matter your own preferences.
• Server Operators: players with server permission can switch to Editing: Server in the menu (or use the equivalent chat commands) to change the list every player on the server is bound by.
• Vanilla Server Fallback: connecting to a server that doesn't have SwordSight installed automatically falls back to a bundled, curated "safe" block list, so basic hit-through functionality still works immediately without any server-side setup.
• Single-Player: acts as a fully local, self-contained mod — your personal settings are all that matter, with no server boundary to worry about.

Bypass Vision-Obscuring Blocks

• Raycast Override: the mod intercepts the game's raycast check and forces non-solid clutter blocks defined in the active config to return an empty hitbox, allowing your weapon's line-of-sight to pass through them.
• Performance Cache: an internal cache of ignored blocks as resolved Block objects keeps lookups fast during gameplay, with no per-hit performance cost.

Configurable Weapon Eligibility

The hit-through functionality is strictly controlled by weapon type:

• Automatic Eligibility: works automatically with Swords (via the #minecraft:swords item tag), Tridents, and Maces.
• Axe Support (Toggleable): cycle axe behavior between Disabled → Enchant Only → Always Enabled from the in-game menu or via /swordsight axe and /swordsight axe enchant.
  • Enchant Only requires the axe to carry a combat enchantment (Sharpness, Smite, Bane of Arthropods, or Fire Aspect) before hit-through kicks in.

⚙️ In-Game Commands

Commands are accessible using either /swordsight or the alias /swords, and now open the in-game configuration menu directly in addition to their usual chat output.

In multiplayer, players without server permission can still view the current configuration and freely manage their own personal profile through the in-game menu — only changes to the server's shared list require operator permission.
