No Block Overlay

by Lunatic

No Block Overlay removes the outline overlay that Minecraft draws around the block a player looks at.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.3 – 1.20.2

What it does

The mod stops the outline and overlay effect from being rendered on blocks in the player's line of sight. It is a client-side only mod, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. Builds exist for Fabric across five release versions, 1.19.3 – 1.20.2, and the latest file, 1.0 for 1.20.2, was published on 2023-01-20. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Outline removal

    Blocks no longer show the outline overlay drawn when they are looked at.

  2. Look-at highlight suppressed

    The overlay drawn over whatever block the player is looking at is turned off.

  3. Fixed scope

    The mod does one thing and does not add other rendering or gameplay changes.

What the author says

NOTE: This Mod will not be updated anymore. For newer versions, please refer to this mod instead. This Mod simply removes the Overlay/Outline that is rendered whenever you look at Blocks. That's all. Really.
