Crosshair Bobbing（NeoForge1.21.1）
Crosshair Bobbing, a NeoForge decoration mod for 1.21.1, makes the crosshair move with the player's walking, mining and block placement.
What it does
The client-side crosshair responds to player movement, mining, block-breaking and block-placement, moving and rebounding as those actions happen. Version 1.11.0-JellyV4 swaps the crosshair animation system for the Jelly Animation Engine, a full rebuild that retains the original behavior while altering how the motion is computed.
Because the animation logic is rebuilt, the motion is smoother, softer and more elastic, with more natural transitions and rebound effects after an action. Animation state management and trigger handling were also reworked, which the author describes as improving stability in complex modded environments. The mod is a NeoForge port for 1.21.1 only, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
Key features
Jelly Animation Engine
A new animation engine drives the crosshair, replacing the earlier animation system with a redesigned internal structure.
Elastic crosshair motion
The crosshair moves in a softer, more elastic way, with rebound effects after movement and actions.
Mining and placement feedback
Breaking and placing blocks trigger reworked crosshair feedback, so each action gives a visible response.
Cleaner trigger handling
Animation state and triggers are managed more carefully, which the author says improves stability with other mods.
