Highlight Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) is a custom way to create more complex visual selection boxes, this is a client only operation and does not actually affect where the player can hit so it is important that the block is still within a normal hit box.

Currently there are 2 ways to bind a highlight to a block, through code using the Highlightable interface on your block or using the json API which can also be used by non mod authors to change a hit box depending on a new model for a block.

Highlights are a client asset so they are stored in your assets folder under the namespace resourcefullib/highlights

Highlight jsons are either a highlight itself for a highlight state, just like how a block has a blockstate json and a model json.

Features:

Highlight

Highlights are a simple json they only contain one thing a list of line

A line is an array of 6 floats with the first 3 being for the first point and the second 3 being for the second point in the line.

Line floats are not Minecraft pixels so if you want a Minecraft pixel position divide it by 16 to get the value for the line.

This example is to have a single line from the bottom left back corner going to the top right front corner.

corner_line.json

{
    "lines": [
        [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1]
    ]
}

Highlight State

Highlight states are pretty similar to blockstates and are formatted in a similar manner for the json.

For highlight states we have a single object of variants which has key pair values with the key being the state of the block just like how you would format a blockstate and then the value either being a reference string to the highlight or an object formatted like such.

Note: Highlight states MUST be located in the same namespace as the namespace of the block it is being created for.

So for example for minecraft:lectern it must be located in assets/minecraft/resourcefullib/highlights/lectern.json It can reference other namespace objects but must be in the same namespace as the namespace of the id.

This example uses the corner_line highlight we created in the highlight section and creates 4 variants 2 where its a direct reference and 2 where it is a sub reference where on west and east it rotates the highlight by 90°.

lectern.json

{
    "variants": {
        "facing=south": "minecraft:corner_line",
        "facing=north": "minecraft:corner_line",
        "facing=west": {
            "highlight": "minecraft:corner_line",
            "rotation": { "y": 90 }
        },
        "facing=east": {
            "highlight": "minecraft:corner_line",
            "rotation": { "y": 90 }
        }
    }
}
