SelectiveBounds
by Luke100000
SelectiveBounds hides the block selection outline in situations where players do not need it, such as on foliage and non-solid blocks.
What it does
The outline that appears around a targeted block can be distracting when the block is grass, flowers or another non-solid block. The mod removes that outline in those cases, and keeps it on blocks where it helps. Because only the client draws the outline, the mod is installed on the player's game and not on servers. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.2, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Hidden outline on foliage
The selection box is not drawn around grass, flowers and similar plants that cannot be walked through.
Hidden outline on non-solid blocks
Blocks a player can pass through do not show the outline, which keeps the view clear while moving.
Outline kept where useful
Solid blocks still show their selection outline, so placing and breaking them stays precise.

What the author says
Hides the ugly block selection outline when not relevant, especially on foliage and non-solid blocks. The outline is smartly hidden when the wrong tool is equipped, or the tool cannot mine at all. Sneaking or building/destroying blocks temporarily shows it again. Behavior is fully configurable in…
