Weapon that ignores grass

[vin0m]

I've got a npc that is smaller than a grass block and if the npc is inside of it I can't hit with a sword.  Is there anyway to make a sword that would ignore the grass block?

Probably not.

I think it is possible using similar technique as an extended reach weapon. Basically, you need the client side to do custom ray-tracing where you would ignore the grass block, and then send custom packet (or maybe attack keybind) to server where actual attack gets processed. I have a tutorial on extended reach here: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-modding-extending-reach-of.html

 

It would take a bit of work, but I think it is possible.

There is a mod that releases its source code that ignores grass. Maybe look into the mods source.

Yeah, that example is good. It actually avoids having to send the custom packet because it handles the case where the grass block has been clicked on on the server side and then checks if there is an entity in that space as well.
