What it does

Legacy Hitbox is a client-side Utility mod that renders player hitboxes on Minecraft 1.8.9. It is built for Legacy Fabric and needs Legacy Fabric API installed alongside it. The outline color, a choice between solid and gradient modes, and the line width are all adjustable, and the mod can be switched off entirely from the same screen.

The settings screen opens with the H key during play. Solid color mode uses a single RGBA value, while gradient mode lets the top and bottom of each hitbox take different RGB colors. Only the client needs the mod, so players on servers can run it without the server installing anything. Its one file, 1.0.0 for 1.8.9, was published on 2026-04-17 under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Hitbox rendering

    Player hitboxes are drawn as visible outlines, and a toggle turns the rendering off without removing the mod.

  2. Solid color mode

    A single RGBA color sets every hitbox, with the alpha channel controlling transparency.

  3. Gradient mode

    Separate RGB values are set for the top and bottom of the hitbox, and a switch moves between the two color modes.

  4. Outline thickness

    The width of the hitbox lines can be changed in the configuration screen.
