Grid updated
by CC_PCT
Grid updated draws a configurable grid-like overlay over the world, so players building railroads or lighting areas can see block spacing while they work.
What it does
Grid updated shows a grid overlay across the world around the player. Players set the spacing, and the lines mark every chosen block, which helps with placing powered rails at regular intervals or spacing torches enough to stop mob spawns. The grid can be set to block mode, which highlights individual blocks, or line mode, which shows borders. A chunk border highlighter can also follow grid lines, and the grid can float with the player or stay fixed at chosen X and Z spacings.
The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it without any server-side install. It requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu. Builds are published for Fabric across 11 release versions, 1.21.6 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The latest file is 26.3-2.0.1-alpha1 for 26.3, released 2026-10-01 on the alpha channel.
Key features
Configurable spacing
Players type a number, such as 20 or 5, to highlight every nth block at that spacing.
Block and line modes
Block mode highlights single blocks, while line mode displays the borders of each grid cell.
Chunk border highlighter
Chunk borders can be shown along the grid lines to mark where chunks begin and end.
Fixed or floating grid
The grid can float with the player or stay fixed at chosen X and Z spacings.

What the author says
Updated Grid by gbl. The original mod is end of life and I got request to update this mod... if u find a bug/ crash, report to my discord/ github. This mod displays a grid-like overlay over the world, with configurable spacing, so the blocks you're interested in get highlighted automatically.
