CoolCrosshair
by NN_user
CoolCrosshair replaces the default Minecraft crosshair with one whose color, shape, size and opacity the player sets from a settings menu.
What it does
Players open the settings menu with the H key and adjust the crosshair appearance there, without editing any config files. The menu uses the English layout and is meant for players who want a crosshair that suits their armor palette, playstyle or screen resolution.
Installation requires Fabric API on the Fabric loader. CoolCrosshair is client-side only, so only the player's own game needs it and servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric across four game versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.4, with 1.1 for 1.21.4 as the latest build. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Adjustable crosshair shape
The crosshair can be changed to a shape the player finds most natural, with the choice kept in the settings menu.
Color and size controls
Color, size and opacity can each be set, so the crosshair can match an armor set or stay subtle during building.
Outline options
Outlines can be tuned alongside the other values to keep the crosshair crisp against different backgrounds.
Settings menu on the H key
A single menu on the H key holds every option, so no config file has to be opened by hand.

Use cases
Precise aiming
A player who wants a sharp, small marker for PvP or fine aiming can shrink and sharpen the crosshair to a precise point.
Subtle block placement
A builder who prefers an unobtrusive marker can lower the opacity and size so the crosshair stays out of the way.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players on Fabric who want a personal crosshair in single-player or multiplayer, without installing anything on the server.
