Toggle Highlight Outline Box Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off the block outline?
Press the B key (default keybind) while in your world to toggle the outline off. Press B again to turn it back on.
Can I change what key hides the outline?
Yes, open your game control settings and search for the Toggle Highlight Outline Box keybind, then assign it to any key you prefer.
Does this mod work in multiplayer?
This mod only affects your own client's visuals, so it works in multiplayer servers without needing to be installed on the server.
Will toggling outlines off affect my ability to place or break blocks?
No, hiding the outline is purely visual and does not change how you interact with blocks—you can still place and break them normally.
Does this mod cause lag or performance issues?
This mod has minimal performance impact since it only toggles a visual element that Minecraft already renders.
What if I accidentally hide the outline and forget how to show it again?
Press the toggle key (B by default, or whatever you rebound it to) one more time to bring the outline back.
Does this work with other mods that change block visuals?
Yes, this mod only controls the selection outline and is compatible with mods that modify block textures or models.
Can I hide outlines for only certain blocks?
No, this mod toggles the outline for all blocks at once—it's an all-or-nothing feature.
Does the outline stay hidden when I reload my world?
Your toggle setting does not persist between sessions; the outline will be visible again when you rejoin unless you toggle it off again.
Is there a way to see the outline status without looking at a block?
No, the outline only appears when you are pointing at a block, so you'll need to look at a block to confirm whether it's on or off.
