# Highlights

Highlights are 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 <mark style="color:orange;">`Highlightable`</mark> 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 <mark style="color:blue;">`resourcefullib/highlights`</mark>

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