Better Crosshair Indicator
by uokik
Better Crosshair Indicator replaces the plain crosshair with four corner brackets that frame the aim point and can be recolored and resized.
What it does
The indicator sits around the crosshair as four brackets, one per corner. Each corner can be positioned on its own with X and Y offsets, so the frame can be shifted, tightened or widened to suit a player's view. Color is set with RGBA values, and the size of the indicator can be adjusted. The crosshair display is drawn differently from the vanilla one, which changes how the aim point lines up with a hit target.
The mod also marks other players the crosshair is aimed at with visual markers, and it gives centered feedback directly on the crosshair. The corner style is mostly pixel-perfect, so the brackets stay aligned with the screen grid at common settings. The mod runs on Fabric only. Files cover 16 release versions 1.20.1 – 26.3, and the license is MIT, so the code is open source. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.
Key features
Four corner brackets
The crosshair is framed by four brackets, one for each corner, so the aim point stays visible without covering it.
Per-corner offsets
Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right can each be moved independently with X and Y offsets.
Color and size control
Each indicator can be given an RGBA color, and its size can be changed to suit the screen and the view.
Player aim markers
Visual markers appear around the crosshair when it is aimed at other players, showing which target is in line.

How it compares
F5 Crosshair is a Fabric client mod for 26.2 only, under All rights reserved and not open source. Better Crosshairs covers 1.21.11 – 26.2 on Fabric, also under All rights reserved and not open source. Advanced Player Crosshair is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 – 26.3 under the MIT License, so it is open source like Better Crosshair Indicator, but it does not offer the corner-bracket frame.
