Pretty Hitboxes Updated
by EdvinNGU
Pretty Hitboxes Updated shows the collision boxes of entities on screen, with each part of the display configurable from a settings screen.
What it does
Players who want to see where entities actually register hits can turn on drawn hitboxes in the game world. The toggles cover the usual cases: hitboxes by default, a large box around the Ender Dragon, the bounding box, the eye level and direction indicators, and separate switches for item drops, item frames, paintings, boats and thrown items. The color of each drawn part can also be changed, including the box of the entity under the crosshair while it is within reach.
The mod is a client-side utility with no server component, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. The author states that the release targets 1.21.11 only and that two default config toggles were changed. Optional Mod Menu support adds an entry for opening the settings from the mod list. The source code is public and the code is under the MIT License.
Key features
Entity hitbox toggles
Hitboxes can be switched on for the whole world by default, or for individual entity kinds such as paintings and boats.
Ender Dragon segments
A large hitbox can be drawn around the Ender Dragon, so its separate segments are easier to see.
Direction and eye level
Indicators for facing direction and eye level can be displayed next to each drawn box.
Recolorable boxes
Bounding boxes, dragon segments, indicators and the targeted entity box each take their own RGBA color.

Use cases
Locating dropped items
Item physics can hide dropped items under terrain or in water, and the item hitbox color helps find them.
Checking reach and targeting
The targeted entity box highlights what the crosshair is hitting within reach, which helps when judging close combat.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want to inspect entity collision boxes while building, fighting or searching for items. It is a single-purpose client tool, so it adds no blocks or items to a world.
