I think it might be possible to do this client size. The Ender client shows all the radii of supports when you have a support selected to place, so maybe it could show them all the time.

Yes everything with a radius should have a toggle switch just like personal and village claims.

At the very least, have it show all support radii when you have the mining tool active

Just thought i'd +1 this, for the sake of the current situation being nothing more than a tedium.

agreed, there are things this could be useful for besides mine supports. but make it like a villages/claims button, not the annoying swim/track toggles

But i like the idea anyway it comes out.

The main problem of implementing 'toggle radius' in client, is that this radius is sent by server, client don't know anything about it until it happens. And happens it only when player chooses to place some object with radius. I can try to cache this radius values, to be able to highlight them later, but you will need to try to place this object at least once per session for this to work.

Definitely an improvement from what it currently is as long as it'll be toggleable and not always showing after doing it 1 time
