Advanced Player Crosshair
Advanced Player Crosshair changes the crosshair color when the player aims at other players, depending on their held items and blocking state.
What it does
The crosshair turns green when aimed at a player, and a player holding a mace in the inventory triggers a different color. A player actively blocking with a shield turns the crosshair red, and a mace in the inventory combined with a shield block turns it dark red. A standard crosshair is kept for other targets. The mod is a lightweight Fabric mod for client-side use only, so servers do not need it.
Versions cover 1.21.11 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric file, 1.3, targets 26.3. It is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
