Black Crosshair
by chimeralle2
Black Crosshair replaces the default Minecraft crosshair on the client with a custom-drawn one that has a black outline and a white center.
What it does
The crosshair is drawn with a black outline around a white inner mark, which keeps it readable against bright or busy backgrounds. Players can resize it with the up and down arrow keys to suit their preference, and the size change applies immediately without restarting the game.
Only the client needs the mod, so players can join servers without installing anything. The mod is built for NeoForge and has files for Minecraft 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest release. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Black outline
A black border surrounds the crosshair so it stays visible over light terrain, water and sky.
White inner crosshair
The center of the crosshair is white, giving a clear point for aiming at blocks and entities.
Arrow key resizing
The up and down arrow keys grow or shrink the crosshair, letting each player set the size they prefer.
Lightweight drawing
The crosshair is drawn in code instead of loading a texture file, and it adds no extra gameplay systems.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Low-contrast environments
Players who find the default crosshair hard to see over snow, sand or bright skies can use the outline to keep it visible.
Custom aiming size
Players who prefer a smaller or larger target can adjust the size with the arrow keys without editing any files.
Who it’s for: Players who want a more visible or adjustable crosshair on NeoForge clients for Minecraft 1.21.8 – 1.21.11. Servers need no changes, since the mod only runs on the player's own game.
