HitHoverBox

by abbie

HitHoverBox limits the debug hitbox display to the entity under the crosshair, instead of drawing every hitbox on screen at once.

What it does

Turning on the entity hitbox debug view normally outlines every entity in range. HitHoverBox narrows that view so only the entity the player is looking at shows its hitbox. The display is toggled with a key binding, which is set to a default key, and the same toggle is available through the /hithoverbox command. The mod is built for Fabric and needs Fabric API. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Hover-only hitboxes

    Only the entity under the crosshair shows its hitbox, which keeps busy scenes readable.

  2. Key binding toggle

    The display switches on and off with a key binding that ships with a default key.

  3. Chat command

    The /hithoverbox command toggles the same display for players who prefer typing.

What the author says

This mod adds the ability to restrict the debug function for displaying entity hitboxes to the one you're hovering your crosshair over. The functionality can be toggled with a key binding (default: B) and a command (/hithoverbox).
