BetterBlockOutline is a client sided Minecraft mod that allows for ample customization of the block outline. Everything from color customization to debug information.

BetterBlockOutline has built in chroma and numerous ways to change the appearance of the outline.

BetterBlockOutline gives access to F3 Debug info directly on the blocks. View coordinates, age, direction, power level, and loads more. There are built in arrow types to view direction of hoppers, observers, and other directional blocks. All toggleable and customizable with keybinds!

Change the color of the outline based on if your selected tool is the correct tool for a block, or change the color based on the hovered block.

Mark blocks and keep them outlined permanently. Perfect for keeping track of similar blocks or gaining spatial awareness.

The mod is designed to not function as XRay and anything that BetterBlockOutline displays can be seen in the debug menu.

MaLiLib is required to run and Mod Menu for configuration. Join the Discord for help.
