Visible Invisible

by KitRocky

Visible Invisible lets a player see entities that have the invisibility effect, by drawing a glowing outline around them within line of sight, and the outline can be toggled with a single key.

What it does

Instead of removing the invisibility potion effect, the mod applies a glowing outline to invisible mobs and players inside the player's line of sight. The outline uses the same look as the Spectral Arrow effect, so the rest of the game keeps its standard visual style and tracking movement stays clear. Outlines only appear on invisible entities within the field of view, and the mod is aimed at spotting them against the background.

The outline is a toggle bound to the V key. Pressing it switches glowing detection off at once, which allows a quick change between standard vanilla play and the enhanced detection mode. The mod is built as a visual aid, somewhat like an X-ray view limited to invisible targets, and it only needs one keystroke to operate.

Visible Invisible is client-side only, so only the player who installs it sees the outlines and no server changes are needed. It is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.11, and is released under the MIT License, so the source code is open source. Its code is built for high performance, and the author describes it as having no measurable impact on frame rate.

Key features

  1. Spectral outlining

    Invisible mobs and players receive a white glowing outline that matches the Spectral Arrow effect.

  2. Line-of-sight detection

    Outlines are drawn only for invisible entities that fall within the player's line of sight and field of view.

  3. V key toggle

    A single key press turns the outlines on or off, switching between vanilla visuals and the enhanced mode.

  4. Potion effect kept

    The invisibility effect itself stays in place, and the mod only adds the outline on top of it.

Do servers have to install Visible Invisible?

No. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join without installing it on the server.

What the author says

Instead of removing the potion effect entirely, this mod applies a glowing outline—identical to the Spectral Arrow effect—to any invisible mob or player within your line of sight. This allows you to track their movements clearly while maintaining the standard Minecraft visual style. [V] Key — Toggle Outlines…
