Use Block Highlighting for Building and Trap Setup

Enabling Block Highlights

Block highlighting helps you visualize specific blocks in your world—essential for trap building and precise construction. Enable block rendering in the mod settings menu, then select which blocks you want to highlight.

Setting Up Trap Highlights

The mod includes a helpful sign popup menu that speeds up trap configuration:

  • Place a sign near your trap mechanism
  • Use the popup menu to quickly mark trap blocks and redstone components
  • Highlighted blocks will glow in your chosen color, making it easy to see your trap layout from a distance
  • Adjust highlight colors in the appearance settings to avoid confusion with other markers

Managing Multiple Highlights

You can highlight different block types simultaneously—useful when building complex traps with multiple components. Use distinct colors for each block type (redstone, pistons, dispensers) to keep your design clear. The highlights work with custom shaders enabled, so your visual setup won't break your rendering preferences.
