Colored Crosshair
by SSH
Players who want a different aim marker in combat can use Colored Crosshair, which lets them recolor and resize the center reticle and its attack indicator.
What it does
Colored Crosshair changes the look of the crosshair on the client. A player can enter any hex color for the reticle, choose a separate color for the attack indicator, set its transparency and size, and pick a color that applies while the crosshair sits on an entity. A charged weapon can also show its own crosshair color, so the charge state is visible at a glance.
The settings are reachable through a mod menu screen or through the cc command, which lets a player adjust values without opening a menu. The author notes that the mod is built for fights and PvP, where a distinct reticle color helps. Because it is client-side only, the server does not need it and players can join servers without installing anything.
Compatibility with Crosshair Indicator is listed as required for the crosshair indicator options, which allow color and transparency changes based on conditions. On NeoForge and Quilt, that indicator feature is not available, and the author states that the Quilt build is beta and less stable than the Fabric build. Files cover 1.21 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt.
Key features
Custom reticle color
Any hex color can be entered for the crosshair, so the reticle does not have to use a preset palette.
Attack indicator styling
The attack indicator has its own color, transparency and size settings, separate from the main crosshair.
Color on entity hit
A separate color applies while the crosshair is over an entity, so targets stand out during fights.
Charged weapon color
The crosshair changes color when a charged weapon is ready, showing the charge state without a separate HUD element.
Command access
The cc command edits the settings directly, so players can change values without opening the mod menu.
