Changelog

All notable changes to the Long Distance Touch mod will be documented in this file.

[1.0.0] – 2025-06-05

Added

• Initial release of the mod.
• Players can now attack entities and interact with blocks at any distance as long as the target is within their render distance.
• Removed reach distance restrictions on both client and server sides using Fabric mixins.
• Extended the crosshair raycast distance from 6 blocks to 1024 blocks, allowing selection of far-away targets.

Compatibility

• Minecraft: 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 (inclusive)
• Fabric Loader: >=0.19.3
• Fabric API: `>=anyversion
• Java: 21

Technical Details

• Overrides hardcoded distance checks (36.0 squared blocks) in:
  • ClientPlayerInteractionManager (client-side)
  • ServerPlayNetworkHandler (server-side)
• Modifies GameRenderer.findCrosshairTarget to increase raycast range from 6.0 to 1024.0.

Notes

• Both the client and the server must install this mod for the effect to work.
• The mod does not introduce any custom network packets; it works by relaxing vanilla distance limits.

Known Issues

• None for this version.
