Explore Without the Selection Box Distraction

Hide the Outline for Immersion

Press B to remove the black selection box. This gives you an unobstructed view of the world as you explore caves, forests, and structures without the constant visual indicator of what you're looking at.

Navigate Freely

While the outline is hidden, you can still interact with blocks normally—break them, place them, or open containers. The outline is purely visual; toggling it off doesn't change how the game responds to your actions.

Re-enable When Needed

If you're exploring a dark cave or need to carefully target a specific block, press B again to bring the outline back. This helps you see exactly what you're pointing at in low-light situations or when blocks are tightly packed together.

Tip for Caving

Many players toggle the outline off in well-lit areas for a cleaner view, then turn it back on when entering caves or dark structures where the outline helps identify blocks more easily.
