Reach, or reaching is a synonym for come, coming, arrive, arriving, attend, attending etc.
It is often used in place of such phrases as: "Are you coming?", "Are you going\going to make it?", " Are you on your way?" in the interrogitive, and "Come over", "I'll be there", "I'm on the way" etc. in the exclamatory.
It often stands alone as the sole word in an (sms)text message.
Anecdotal evidence could lead one to believe that this unconventional, ambiguous usage of the word was introduced into the urban lexicon by homophobic, adolescent, or twenty-something wiggas, who possibly feared reprisal at the double entendre the words come and coming conjured in their cohorts, friends and\or homies.
Ultimately, and this is just a gut feeling, I believe the aforementioned (admittedly dubious) etymological origin story smacks of the clumsy and often extremely loose and liberal repurposing of words and phrases which have become commonplace in the post-www.\sms era of of the past few decades.
Said slanglish was probably first uttered by one young hip-hop sycophant to a friend, or acquaintance who probably had to ask for clarification as to its contextual meaning. Apparently, it was deemed either sufficiently cool and\or enough of a time\140 character saver when used as a single word in place of an entire sentence, that it managed to gain traction and be thusly co-opted and amalgamated into the lols and imhos of females aged 12-32...ensuring it's inclusion in the Urban Dictionary.

Get the REACH mug.A knife carried by Jamaican bad boys. The locking pin is equipped with a ring that your index finger fits through. When you pull on the ring it moves the locking pin so the blade can swing out. Bad Boys often file the locking pin down so the blade can easily open, usually with a flash of the hand.

Get the halo reach mug.Reach is a "hack" for Minecraft that modifies the client-side range of the player. Usually, your client-side reach is 3 blocks, but it can be increased up to 6 blocks. Why? (TeChNiCaL tAlK tImE!!!) Well, the server you are connected to treats everyone with a reach of 6 blocks, it's the CLIENT that restricts your reach to 3 blocks. However, client-side reach doesn't restrict the 6 block server-side reach when breaking blocks, which means you can break blocks that are 6 blocks away. The client-side reach only affects click on entities (Other players, mobs, etc.).
Since players that use this "hack" give themselves an unfair advantage towards legit players, reach hacks are bannable on almost all Minecraft servers.

According to darthdoesmc, a Hypixel moderator, typical reach hacks are NOT possible on the Hypixel network because apparently, NoCheatPlus actually blocks all reach that is outside the general Minecraft range.
