better crosshair by rinat
by rinmav9055
better crosshair by rinat lets players change the look of the crosshair, including its color, size, gap, rotation and shape, and recolor it when aimed at an entity.
What it does
The mod replaces the default crosshair with one the player can customize. Colors can be picked from a palette or set to a rainbow effect, so the crosshair stays visible against different backgrounds. Size, gap width and rotation can be adjusted, which allows the aim point to be set precisely for targeting.
Crosshair shapes include spinning designs, decorative forms and item-style cursors. A toggle turns the mod off without removing it, which returns the vanilla crosshair. The mod requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu, and it is published only for Fabric, across six release versions 1.21 – 1.21.5. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. The license is custom and the mod is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
