About this Mod

![]()

Reach Behind lets you interact with usable blocks hidden behind decorations such as item frames, signs, banners, and other supported attachments. Open a chest, use a crafting table, or access other blocks without needing to aim around the decorations you've placed. 🖱️
The mod makes decorated builds more practical by removing a common source of frustration while preserving normal decoration interactions. An optional empty hand mode helps prevent accidental edits, item placement, and other unwanted interactions. 🧰
It works in singleplayer, on dedicated servers, and even in multiplayer when the server does not have the mod installed. For the most complete and consistent experience, install the mod on both client and server. 🌐
