Best Crosshair
Best Crosshair replaces the default Minecraft crosshair with a cleaner, more minimal one that stays readable during fights and building.
What it does
The mod changes only the aiming reticle drawn at the center of the screen. The crosshair is kept small and simple so it does not cover much of the view, and its style is meant to match the vanilla interface rather than replace it. Players who fight in PvP or survival can keep their aim clear without an unfamiliar look.
Best Crosshair is a client-side only mod, so players install it themselves and servers do not need it. It is written for Fabric and covers 12 release versions, the latest being 2.0.0 for 1.21.11, published 2026-08-02. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Minimal crosshair design
The reticle uses a clean, minimal shape that keeps focus on the game world rather than on the interface.
Clear without covering the screen
The crosshair stays visible against most backgrounds while occupying only a small area at the center.
Close to vanilla feel
The style is kept close to the default crosshair, so gameplay does not feel changed more than necessary.
Simple drop-in replacement
The mod adds a single crosshair with no menus to learn, so it takes the place of the default one directly.
