Simple Block Overlay Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the block overlay?
The block overlay is enabled by default when you install the mod. Simply point your crosshair at any block and you should see the overlay appear around its edges. If you don't see it, check that the mod is properly loaded in your mods folder.
Where do I find the config file to change overlay settings?
The mod's configuration file is located in your .minecraft/config folder. Look for the Simple Block Overlay Mod config file and open it with a text editor to adjust your overlay preferences.
Can I make the overlay a different color?
Yes, you can change the overlay color by editing the color value in the config file. The mod uses RGB or hex color codes depending on the configuration format—refer to the color customization guide for specific syntax.
What overlay types are available?
The mod offers several overlay styles including solid lines, dotted lines, and gradient effects. You can switch between these types in the config file to find the style that works best for you.
How do I make the overlay more transparent or opaque?
You can adjust the transparency (alpha value) of the overlay in the config file. Lowering the value makes it more transparent, while raising it makes it more opaque—useful if the overlay is too distracting or hard to see.
Does this mod work with other mods that modify block rendering?
Simple Block Overlay Mod is generally compatible with most mods, but conflicts can occur with mods that heavily modify block rendering or HUD elements. If you experience visual glitches, try adjusting the overlay settings or checking mod load order.
Can I disable the overlay temporarily without uninstalling the mod?
Yes, you can disable the overlay by setting its opacity to zero or toggling it off in the config file. This lets you keep the mod installed while turning the feature on and off as needed.
Why can't I see the overlay on certain blocks?
Some blocks may have the same color as your configured overlay, making it invisible. Try changing the overlay color or increasing its transparency to make it stand out against different block types.
Does this mod affect my game's performance?
Simple Block Overlay Mod has minimal performance impact since it only renders a simple overlay around the targeted block. You shouldn't notice any FPS drops unless you're already running on very low performance.
Can I have different overlay settings for different game modes or worlds?
The mod uses a single global config file, so all your worlds will share the same overlay settings. If you need different configurations, you would need to manually edit the config file between sessions.
