Aircraft cursor
by ELcapybara03
Aircraft Cursor adds a radar-style overlay that shows nearby aircraft in the center of the screen while a player is flying.
What it does
The overlay is a client-side display: it marks the direction of nearby aircraft relative to the player and sits around the crosshair, so pilots can keep their eyes on the flight path. Its circular GUI is drawn directly at the center of the screen, with the aircraft icon sprite originally created by Conczin for Immersive Aircraft.
The mod is built to work with Immersive Aircraft, which is required, and Fabric API, which is also required. Aircraft Cursor is client-side only, so servers run without it, though the author recommends installing it on servers with heavy aviation activity. It is distributed under the MIT License and is not open source. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.
Key features
Proximity tracking
Real-time positioning of nearby aircraft is shown relative to the player's own craft.
Minimal radar display
A clean, circular radar sits at the center of the screen and stays out of the way of flying.
Edge indicators
Visual markers at the screen edges point toward aircraft that are outside the field of view.
Collision and formation awareness
The display helps pilots spot approaching craft before head-on collisions and keep track of their flight formation.
