Pretty hitboxes
Pretty hitboxes lets a player change how entity hitboxes, bounding boxes and eye-level markers are drawn on screen, without touching game logic.
What it does
Hitbox outlines for entities can be fully customized, and each part of an entity can be shown or hidden on its own. Drawing hitboxes is switched on by default, and the color of the hitbox on the entity under the crosshair within reach can be set separately. Separate toggles cover the large hitbox around the Ender Dragon, the entity bounding box, the eye-level indicator and the direction indicator.
The mod is a client-side utility for players who want to see collision shapes while building, testing or exploring. Item drops and item frames can each have their hitboxes toggled, which helps when those hitboxes get in the way. Pretty hitboxes requires Cloth Config API for its settings screen and Mod Menu to open it. The code is under the MIT License and is open source; the mod is published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.19.4 – 1.20.1, with 1.2.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Customizable entity hitboxes
Hitbox outlines can be adjusted in color and shape for each entity type the player wants to inspect.
Dragon and bounding box toggles
A large hitbox around the Ender Dragon and the general entity bounding box can each be turned on or off.
Eye level and direction markers
Indicators for eye level and facing direction can be displayed alongside the hitboxes.
Item drop and item frame hitboxes
Hitboxes for dropped items and item frames are controlled separately, so they can be hidden when they clutter the view.

Use cases
Building with exact collision
Hitbox outlines help a builder check where an entity or block boundary sits before placing things near it.
Testing mob behavior
A player checking how mobs or projectiles interact with the world can see the shapes the game uses for collision.
Who it’s for: Players who want to see entity collision shapes on the client, and creators who test interactions in their own worlds. The mod changes nothing on a server.

QOL mod for people who play with hitboxes on. Change the color of hitboxes, which parts are shown, remove the annoying hitboxes from item frames, etc. Simple little mod, actually my first so if it's buggy I'm sorry XD
