Frequently asked questions

How do I turn off the mod if I want normal Minecraft outlines back?
Open configs/selectivebounds.json and set the main enable option to false, then restart your game. This will restore the standard Minecraft outline behavior on every block you look at.
Why does the outline disappear when I'm looking at leaves?
The mod hides outlines on foliage and non-solid blocks by default to reduce visual clutter. You can temporarily see the outline by holding Shift, or disable this behavior in the config file.
The outline won't show up even when I'm holding the right tool. What's wrong?
Check that you're actually holding a tool the mod recognizes as valid for that block type—for example, a pickaxe for stone. If the outline still doesn't appear, verify the mod is enabled in your config file.
Can I make the outline always visible like vanilla Minecraft?
Yes, open configs/selectivebounds.json and disable the smart tool detection and foliage hiding features. This will show outlines on all blocks regardless of what you're holding.
