Entity Selection Outlines Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on outlines when I first install the mod?
Outlines are enabled by default for most decorative entities like item frames, paintings, and armor stands. Open the in-game settings screen (accessible from your mod menu) to verify which entity types have outlines active, or adjust them to your preference.
Can I make outlines only show for certain entities?
Yes, use the entity whitelist screen in the mod settings to select exactly which entity types you want outlined. You can toggle item frames, paintings, armor stands, leash knots, end crystals, and compatible custom furniture on or off individually.
Why aren't outlines showing up on some entities?
Check your entity whitelist settings to ensure that entity type is enabled. If it's enabled but still not showing, the entity may not be in range or the mod may not recognize it as a supported decorative entity—custom furniture outlines only work with compatible mods.
Do I need to install this mod on the server too?
No, this mod runs entirely on the client side, so you can use it on any multiplayer server without asking admins to install anything.
Can I change the color of the outlines?
Yes, the mod includes an in-game settings screen where you can customize the outline color and appearance directly. You can also match outline colors to custom block outline resource packs if you're using one.
Will resource packs affect the outline style?
Yes, the mod is designed to match custom block outline packs and will respect color changes from external resource packs, so your outlines stay visually consistent with your overall resource pack style.
Does this mod work with furniture mods?
The mod can highlight custom decorative objects like cushions from compatible furniture addition mods. Check the mod's documentation or test with your specific furniture mod to confirm compatibility.
Can I use outlines to help align decorative objects?
Yes, the clear bounding box outlines make it much easier to see exact hitboxes and positioning, which is useful for precisely aligning item frames, paintings, armor stands, and other decorative entities.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod is lightweight and runs on the client side only, so it has minimal performance impact. If you experience issues, try disabling outlines for entity types you don't need or adjusting the outline appearance settings.
What entities can this mod outline?
The mod supports item frames, paintings, armor stands, leash knots, end crystals, and compatible custom furniture from other mods. You can enable or disable outlines for each of these types in the settings.
