Hitbox+
by ItzWater
With Hitbox+ installed, players can change how hitboxes are drawn, filtering what shows and recoloring the outlines during practice or combat.
What it does
Hitbox+ is a client-side Fabric mod that customizes hitbox rendering through a configurable settings screen. Each feature can be toggled on its own, so a player can turn on only the outlines they need. Options include rendering projectiles, limiting the display to players and projectiles only, hiding mobs and animals, showing the player's own hitbox, filtering to players who are flying with Elytra, and drawing direction lines or forehead lines as overlays. Colors are set with an RGB picker.
The mod targets practice and combat, where clearer hitboxes help a player judge reach and timing. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need to install it. Hitbox+ requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu. Files are published for Fabric across six release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features

Elytra-only filtering
Players can restrict hitbox rendering to players who are gliding with Elytra.
Direction and forehead lines
Optional overlays draw a direction line or a forehead line on hitboxes to show where an entity faces.

Combat practice
Hitboxes drawn around projectiles and players make it easier to see where a shot will land.
Crowded scenes

Who it’s for: Players who practice PvP or combat timing and want hitboxes shown with their own colors and filters.
