Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the outlines after installing the mod?
The outlines should be active by default once the mod is installed and you load a world. If you don't see them, check that you're looking directly at a block with your crosshair—the outline only appears on the block you're pointing at.
Can I change the color of the outlines?
Yes, you can customize outline colors through the mod's configuration file. Different block types can have different outline colors, allowing you to distinguish between stone, wood, ore, and other materials at a glance.
Why is the outline making my game lag?
Outline shaders can impact performance on very low-end systems. Try reducing render distance, lowering your graphics settings, or adjusting the outline intensity in the mod's config file to improve performance.
Do the outlines work on transparent blocks like glass and water?
Yes, the outlines work on all blocks including transparent ones, which makes it easier to see and select glass panes, water, and similar blocks that are normally hard to target.
