Ht1box
Improved hitbox rendering for Hoplite
Screenshots
About this Mod
A lightweight Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.8 that enhances hitbox rendering with the following features:
Hitbox Color by Tab-List Name
Player hitboxes are automatically colored based on their display name color in the tab list (supports scoreboard team colors as fallback).
Custom Colors per Entity Type
Configure individual hitbox colors for:
- Default entities
- Players (with name color priority)
- Items
- Arrows
- Ender Pearls
Cleaner Hitbox Display
- Removes the look vector line (the blue line showing view direction)
- Removes the eye height indicator line
Targeted Entity Fade
When aiming at an entity within attack range, the hitbox becomes semi-transparent (80% alpha) so it doesn't obstruct your view — toggleable in config.
Config via Mod Menu + YACL
All settings are configurable through Mod Menu using YACL's clean UI. No need to edit files manually.
Requirements
- Fabric Loader
- Fabric API
- Mod Menu
- YACL (Yet Another Config Lib)

Ht1box server crashes on startup – what to do?

Ht1box officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.8. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Ht1box – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Ht1box consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
