FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.4 – 1.20.6

What it does

The mod enables servers to render debug shapes on the player's client. Only the client needs it installed, so players join servers without any server-side setup. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric across four game versions, 1.19.4 – 1.20.6, under the MIT License, with the code open source.

Key features

  1. Server-sent debug shapes

    Servers can push debug shapes that the client draws on screen, so operators can inspect world state in place.

  2. Shape rendering on screen

    Each shape a server sends is drawn in the player's view, giving a visual readout of server-side debug data.

  3. Debug overlay for servers

    Server operators can use the mod to visualize debug information for players connected to their world.
