Crosshair Player Indicator
by 3d_circuit1
Crosshair Player Indicator changes the vanilla crosshair so it turns red when another player is in range and stays white otherwise.
What it does
The mod draws a crosshair that is two pixels thicker than the vanilla one, which makes it easier to see on screen. When another player comes within range, the crosshair switches to red, and it returns to solid white once that player moves out of range. The change is purely visual and affects only the player's own screen.
Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it. Installation requires Fabric API, and the files target Fabric for 1.21.11 only, released under the MIT License. The code is not open source.
