There has never been a better time to start playing Minecraft<\/a><\/em>. In 2020 the game managed to have 131 concurrent users so there will always be someone to pal around with for players logging on. Players can build massive structures, take down mobs of enemies, and even speedrun the game<\/a> to have fun<\/p>\n

Like many other games, enemies, allies, and NPCs of all kinds have hitboxes. These hitboxes show exactly how much space an entity takes up which can be useful for many reasons. Players wanting to get the most out of their Minecraft experience will want to know how to see them in the game.<\/p>\n

It’s actually quite easy to see hitboxes in the Java\u00a0Edition of the game: simply press F3 and B on the keyboard at the same time. That’s it! This key combo can be used to toggle hitboxes on and off for when players want them to be out of sight once more.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>How Hitboxes Work<\/h2>\n

With hitboxes turned on, a white line that forms a box is shown around whatever entity players are looking at. These boxes do not always match up with the exact shape of entities either, sometimes various body parts will stick out. This is especially important to recognize as even if players hit an entity with a sword in an area they don’t have a hitbox, no damage will take place.<\/p>\n

Hitboxes will also show an entity’s lines of sight. This is the large red rectangle that surrounds the entire head. This is why players can’t sneak up on mobs, they are programmed to have the literal equivalent of having eyes on the back of their head. Players can still know which way an entity is facing by looking at the blue line that extends away from the eyes.<\/p>\n
