RemoveBlockOutline
by xzeldon
RemoveBlockOutline is a Fabric client mod that turns off the outline drawn around the block under the player's crosshair.
What it does
Normally a thin outline is drawn around whichever block the player's mouse points at. This mod stops that outline from being drawn, so the block in view is left without the highlight. Only the client needs it: players install it, and servers do not. Builds exist for 1.18 – 1.21.1, and the mod is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Hidden block outline
The highlight drawn around the block under the crosshair is no longer rendered.
Idea from another mod
The idea came from the Remove Mouseover Highlight mod, which this one follows, though it is built for Fabric.
Client-only install
Only the player's game needs the mod, so a server can run without it and players join without extra setup.

What the author says
This mod removes the outlines that get drawn when the player mouse over a block. The idea of the mod was taken from Remove Mouseover Highlight Mod. But this mod uses a Forge mod loader but all the mods I use use a Fabric mod loader. So i decided to create this mod =)
