Square Border MITE
by ModdedMITE
Square Border MITE changes how selected block outlines and entity hitboxes are drawn in Minecraft 1.6.4-MITE, through a configurable set of colors, styles and animations.
What it does
Square Border MITE customizes the highlight drawn around the block a player is looking at and the hitbox outline shown when the F3+B debug view is active. The two highlights have separate style settings, so the block outline can differ from the entity outline. Colors can be set as RGB or HSV values, and a handful of built-in presets offer quick starting points that range from plain to high-contrast.
The mod is built on Legacy Fabric for Minecraft 1.6.4, with files for that single game version. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing anything. Its default settings keep the original behavior of the game, and changes apply only once a player edits them. ManyLib MITE and Mod Menu MITE are required, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Block and entity highlights
The selected block and the entity hitbox each get their own style settings, including colors and line width.
Gradient and solid colors
Highlights can use a solid color or a gradient, interpolated in RGB or HSV, with adjustable opacity and cycle speed.
Outline and fill rendering
Each highlight can show an outline only, a fill only, or an outline with a translucent fill.
Through-wall visibility
Outlines and fills have separate settings for whether they stay visible through walls.
Animation modes
Highlights can animate as a moving gradient, hold a static gradient, breathe in alpha, or stay off.

Who it’s for: Players of Minecraft 1.6.4-MITE who want to change how block and hitbox highlights look, and anyone using the ManyLib config screen to adjust settings.
