Area Selector V1
by devloper859
Area Selector V1 is a client-side Fabric utility that draws a 3D highlight box between two diagonal coordinates to mark large farm or dig areas.
What it does
Players enter two corner coordinates and the mod renders a customizable box between them, which helps when planning large-scale farms and dig sites. A press of H opens the coordinate entry menu by default, and a press of G turns the highlight off at once. The box is drawn only on the player's own screen, so nothing changes on the world side.
The coordinate screen includes Get Pos buttons that fill in the exact current position without typing, and a single number can be entered for one axis. Partially filled areas can be saved, so a player can enter the first corner, walk over to the second, and finish the entry later. Highlight colors can be picked from a color chooser or entered as a standard hex code such as FF0000 for red. The mod is built in pure Java and targets Minecraft 1.21.11 under All rights reserved; it needs Fabric Kotlin Language adapter installed to run.

Buttons fill a corner with the player's exact current coordinates, so no typing is needed for that point.
Saved partial areas
A half-entered area can be stored and completed later, after the player walks to the second corner.
Custom highlight colors
The highlight color can be chosen from a picker or set with a hex code.

Who it’s for: Players who plan large builds or excavations in Minecraft 1.21.11 and want a visual boundary without placing blocks.
