Crosshair Indicator
by MGC8
Crosshair Indicator changes the crosshair to show when a player is in range to swing at another player's hitbox.
What it does
The crosshair shows whether an attack on a player will land at the current moment. It mirrors the purpose of the vanilla attack indicator, but presents the information on the crosshair itself, where the eye already rests. The attack state is no longer limited to fully charged swings, so the signal is available for every attack.
Key features
Crosshair attack state
The crosshair changes appearance while the player can swing at a player's hitbox.
Visible during every swing
The signal is not restricted to fully charged attacks, so partial swings also show their state.
Vanilla indicator replacement
The information that the vanilla attack indicator gives is shown on the crosshair instead.

What the author says
Crosshair indicator works similarly to the Vanilla Attack Indicator by providing proper insight for attack eligibility. This mod however conveys this information more visibly and accessibly by using the crosshair, no longer restricting this functionality to fully-charged attacks.
