SwingThrough

This mod discards the block crosshair target to allow an entity to be targeted instead, when:

• The block has empty collision
• The entity is living and attackable
• You're not directly riding the entity
• The entity isn't your own tamed entity
• The entity is within reach (slightly longer than actual attack range, but still usable)

Due to the way this is implemented, the block outline will also visually disappear when you're targeting the entity instead.

Technical Notes

This mod is comprised of a single mixin with about 4 lines of meaningful code:

• 2 lines to use the full entity targeting range if the block meets the conditions (instead of stopping at the block).
• 2 lines to discard the block target if the full range was used and the entity meets the conditions.

It performs no additional raycasts or radius searches.

Afterword

All mods are built on the work of many others.

We made this mod for Tinkerer's Quilt - our modpack about ease of play and vanilla content.
