Display Types

Type Pros Cons
Particles Low performance impact, doesn't interfere with building May be invisible with some resource packs
Blocks Very visible May cause visual conflicts with builds

Particle Visibility

If players can't see borders: 1. Check if resource packs disable particles 2. Check Minecraft accessibility settings 3. Try switching to type: blocks
