Crosshair Enhancements
by catsflex
Crosshair Enhancements changes how the crosshair and attack indicator are drawn, with separate blending opacity, per-camera visibility rules and a fix for an off-center vanilla crosshair.
What it does
Each part of the HUD can be tuned on its own. Blending opacity applies to the crosshair and to the attack indicator separately, and the crosshair can be shown or hidden in first-person, third-person, spectator and debug overlay views, or hidden with the F1 key. A full indicator can be forced for items and weapons only, and the responsive indicator renders at the exact moment a weapon reaches its maximum-damage charge of at least 90 percent. The indicator's charging animation is interpolated to match the client's framerate.
The mod is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.11, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source. Players install it on their own client; a server does not need it. The options sit in a centralized config menu that works alongside the vanilla options for the crosshair and attack indicator. Source code and an issue tracker are publicly available.
Key features
Blending opacity
Opacity can be set for the crosshair and the attack indicator separately, changing how strongly each one blends into the scene.
Visibility rules
The crosshair can render in first-person, third-person, spectator and debug overlay views, and can be hidden with the F1 key.
Full indicator control
A full attack indicator can be forced for items and weapons only, and its visibility can be set to hide or show it.
Responsive indicator
The indicator renders at the moment a weapon's charge reaches at least 90 percent, when a maximum-damage hit becomes possible.
Smooth indicator animation
The charging animation is interpolated so its motion matches the client's framerate instead of stepping.
Centered crosshair fix
A vanilla bug is resolved where the crosshair renders slightly off-center on screen.
