Clear Hitboxes
by splzh
Clear Hitboxes changes how the Debug Hitboxes overlay looks, letting players recolor and thin the hitbox outlines that appear when F3 and B are pressed together.
What it does
Hitboxes are the outlines Minecraft draws around entities and blocks in debug mode. Clear Hitboxes replaces the default vanilla look with a cleaner version of these lines, and its settings let a player choose the colors, the line thickness and how transparent the outlines are through a slider. A chroma option cycles the hue at an adjustable speed and saturation, so outlines change color over time.
The mod is a client-side tool for players who record footage, study collision or want the overlay to stand out in PvP. Since only the client draws hitboxes, servers can run without it. Installation needs Fabric API on versions from 1.19.3 on, while 1.19 – 1.19.2 need Cloth Config API and ModMenu, and 1.18 and earlier need Fabric API and ModMenu for the settings screen. Builds cover 1.17 – 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.2.3 for 1.20.1, published on 2023-08-31 under the MIT License, so the source code is open.
Key features
Customizable debug hitboxes
The F3 and B hitbox overlay can be restyled, replacing the default outlines with a configurable look.
Adjustable transparency
A slider sets how opaque the hitbox outlines are, from nearly invisible to fully solid.
Custom colors
Each hitbox color can be set to any value, so outlines can be told apart or matched to a theme.
Chroma cycling
A chroma mode shifts outline hue over time, with separate controls for the speed and saturation of the cycle.
Thinner outlines
The line width of the hitbox drawing can be reduced for a less cluttered view of the scene.

How it compares
Clean Hitbox is also a Fabric client-side tool for the hitbox overlay, open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.21 – 1.21.11, so it does not cover the versions Clear Hitboxes supports. Custom Background Color is a client-side Fabric mod under the MIT License that covers 1.16.5 – 1.18 and changes backgrounds rather than hitboxes, so it serves a different purpose. ChromaBlocks is also client-side and MIT-licensed on Fabric, with files for 1.19 – 1.19.2, and adds chroma-colored blocks rather than an overlay.
