What's the point of the blue circle while mining?

[Faceplant]

At best it block my view of what I'm mining. At worst (seemingly mot of the time) it makes my entire screen blue, and I can't see anything.

Is there any way to turn it off? I've looked all over in the settings and don't see anything that would do that.

The blue circle should be transparent and you should be able to see through it? It's the area your pickaxe is working.

If it was transparent I wouldn't be complaining. :-)

it is translucent, and in full daylight it's not too annoying, but most of the time I'm mining in, well, mine, which isn't full daylight.

Wouldn't it be easier to see where your pickaxe is hitting without something obscuring where your pickaxe is hitting? My pickaxe is hitting where it's hitting. If anything, but a dot at the aim point.

This is what I typically see when mining. Is this normal?
