Questions about RGB Block Outline.
4 questions
Does RGB Block Outline need OptiFine?
No. The pack page states it works without OptiFine. Drop the .zip into the resourcepacks folder, enable it on the Resource Packs screen, and the animated outline appears on the block you are aiming at.
Is RGB Block Outline available for Bedrock?
No. It is a Java resource pack hosted on Modrinth, and Bedrock uses a different pack format. Nothing on its page points to a Bedrock release, so Bedrock players need a separate pack.
Which Minecraft versions does RGB Block Outline support?
The pack covers releases from 1.21.5 to 26.3, and the newest file is 1.0.2. A pack built for another release can still load in Java but shows an incompatibility warning.
Can I use RGB Block Outline on a multiplayer host?
It is a client-side pack, so you install it yourself and the host does not need it. Server-side use is unsupported. It only changes how your own screen draws the outline.
