DESCRIPTION (paste into the description editor)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
## Your own outline and crosshair
The thin black line around the block you're looking at is hard to see in dark caves, and the vanilla crosshair is the same for everyone. **Clean Outline** lets you style both.
## Block outline
- **Any color** - pick a color with transparency (`#AARRGGBB`).
- **Thicker lines** - 1 to 10 (vanilla is about 2.5), great for big screens and recording.
- **Soft fill** - an optional see-through color inside the selected block.
- **Rainbow mode** - the outline slowly cycles through all colors.
- Works with every block shape: stairs, slabs, fences, flowers, chests.
## Crosshair
- **Styles** - cross, dot, or cross with a dot.
- **Size, gap and thickness** - make it tiny and precise or big and clear.
- **Any color**, with an optional thin **black border** so it's visible on snow and in the dark.
- Vanilla's attack cooldown indicator under the crosshair still works.
No key bindings - nothing to set up and no conflicts with other mods.
## Settings
The file `config/cleanoutline.properties` is created on first launch. Colors are `#RRGGBB` or `#AARRGGBB` (AA = transparency, 00-FF):
- `outlineEnabled` (true), `outlineColor` (#CCFFFFFF), `outlineThickness` (3.0)
- `rainbow` (false), `fill` (false), `fillColor` (#26FFFFFF)
- `crosshairEnabled` (true), `crosshairStyle` (cross / dot / cross_dot)
- `crosshairColor` (#FFFFFFFF), `crosshairSize` (4), `crosshairGap` (1), `crosshairThickness` (1), `crosshairBorder` (true)
Set `outlineEnabled=false` or `crosshairEnabled=false` to keep the vanilla look for that part.
## Works on servers
This is a **client-side only** mod. It only changes how the outline and crosshair look on your screen - no gameplay advantage, nothing visible through walls. Works in singleplayer, on Realms and on any server, including PvP servers.
## Honest limitations
- Line thickness depends on your graphics driver; on some systems very thick lines are capped by the driver.
- Shader packs (Iris) may draw the outline their own way.
- Other mods that change the crosshair or block outline may conflict; use one of them.
- The settings are in a config file; there is no in-game settings screen yet.
