Toggling Outlines on Your Held Item

Contour Shaders applies colored outlines to entities in the world, dropped items, and by default can also outline the item you are currently holding in first-person view. You can turn this on or off depending on your preference.

Accessing the Hand Outline Option

1. Pause Minecraft and click Options.

2. Navigate to Video Settings, then enter your shader menu.

3. Select Contour Shaders and open its configuration or settings screen.

4. Look for the option named Outline on Hand.

Choosing Your Preferred View

• Outline on Hand Enabled: Keeps the stylized cartoon border visible on the tools, weapons, or blocks you hold in first-person. This provides a unified trailer-like aesthetic across both the environment and your character's equipment.
• Outline on Hand Disabled: Removes the border from your held item completely, leaving your first-person view looking natural while keeping outlines active on other players, mobs, and dropped ground items.

Select your preferred option, click Done, and the change will immediately take effect on whatever item is currently in your main hand.
