Pre-suggestion checklist

• I have searched existing issues and didn't find any previous issues with the same suggestion.
• This is only one suggestion. I understand that GitHub issues don't work well with lists.
• This feature doesn't already exist in the latest version of Wurst. I've made sure my installation is up to date.
• I have looked at the code and am reasonably confident that this suggestion is possible to implement.

What type of improvement are you suggesting?

Changing the settings of existing features.

What type of player would find this improvement useful?

Miners

Description

Just like the title said. Add a frame of blocks that that adjacent to air and liquid when enabling X-Ray.
(I think CaveFinder can be delete if this feature added)

Hey @TanChenyu,

Thanks for the suggestion! We actually already have a feature in the X-Ray settings called "Only show exposed" that does something very similar to what you're asking for. It makes X-Ray only show blocks that are adjacent to air or liquids, letting you quickly spot ores that are visible in caves.

Technically it doesn't highlight them with a frame around the blocks, like how Search or an ESP hack would, but that's also generally not something that X-Ray does and it's still quite easy to spot these blocks because of how X-Ray hides everything else.

I get that it could be useful to see both types of ores at the same time and have a frame around the exposed ones so that they stand out, but that honestly doesn't seem like a huge improvement to me. You can already make a keybind for .setcheckbox x-ray only_show_exposed toggle and quickly press that whenever you need to see the other ores.

Don't get me wrong, it would still be nice to not need a keybind for that. But to be honest, I've got a lot on my plate and there are other features that I think would make a bigger difference on gameplay.

As for CaveFinder, I think it still has its place and I'm not a fan of the idea just removing it.

Actually, what I want is to highlight ALL the blocks around air or liquids(not just ores), because I want to recognize underground air while using X-Ray(So that I won't be dropped into a cave or underground structure, and that why I thought CaveFinder won't be useful after this added)
Usually hacked clients use opacity option to help players recognize underground air, but I thought add frames is better for Wurst ^_^
Sorry for my unclear description. And thanks for your reply.
