3rd Person Crosshair

by catsgoteyes

3rd Person Crosshair draws a crosshair on screen when the camera is switched to third person with F5, where vanilla Minecraft hides it.

What it does

In vanilla Minecraft the crosshair disappears as soon as the camera leaves first person. This Fabric mod keeps it visible in the third-person views, so aiming at blocks and entities stays readable without switching back. It is a client-side only mod: only the player's own client needs it, and servers can run without it. The mod is a fork of Third Person Crosshair by ewewukek, rebuilt from scratch with a similar idea. The original supports 1.20.6 – 1.21, and this version was made because it had not been updated for 1.21.11. Files are published for 1.21.11 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Crosshair in third person

    The crosshair stays on screen in the F5 third-person views, where vanilla hides it.

  2. Aiming from behind the player

    Blocks and entities can be targeted from the over-the-shoulder camera without returning to first person.

  3. Rebuilt from scratch

    The fork was written anew around the same idea as the original Third Person Crosshair, not patched from its code.

What the author says

THIS IS A FORK OF "THIRD PERSON CROSSHAIR" MADE BY ewewukek Built from scratch just with a similar idea. Made this because the current Third person crosshair only supports 1.20.6 AND 1.21 and i play on 1.21.11! Clearly, it wasnt updated in a while, so i went ahead and did it for you!
