SwordHitbox

Show entity hitboxes while holding a sword — a lightweight, client-side PvP visual aid, fully customizable.

When you hold any sword (vanilla, modded, or component-based — anything in the #minecraft:swords tag), SwordHitbox draws the vanilla-style hitboxes of nearby players: the interpolated bounding box, the eye-level box, and the look-direction line. It is purely visual — no gameplay changes, not a reach hack — so it works on every server.

Features

• Faithful vanilla hitbox rendering (interpolated — sticks to entities in motion)
• Per-element customization via an in-game config menu:
  • Behavior: toggle hitboxes, eye box, look vector, "players only", target highlight
  • Colors: ARGB color pickers for the box, eye box, look line, and target
  • Line: line width and display radius
  • Players only by default (like Mace / Spear Hitbox) — toggle to show all mobs
  • Optional target highlight: the entity under your crosshair turns red (off by default)
