CrosshairTarget
by ItziSpyder
CrosshairTarget changes the crosshair during play so that its shape reflects what the player is aiming at and doing.
What it does
The crosshair is redrawn according to context. A blue line marks the distance to the targeted block or entity, and a white line marks the maximum reach. Closer red outer lines indicate a longer-range shot is possible, while smaller white lines show distance and smaller red lines show pull progress when drawing a bow.
Shading on the crosshair tracks actions in progress: a green shade represents use progress, and a white shade represents break progress while mining. The HUD therefore reports timing and reach without a separate overlay. CrosshairTarget depends on ImproperUI, which must also be installed for the mod to load.
The mod is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players can use it on any server or in single-player. It is published for Fabric and targets 1.20 – 1.20.6, with files for 1.20, 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4 and 1.20.6. The latest file is 1.20.6-0.0.6 for 1.20.6, released 2024-05-20, under the MIT License, and the source code is open source.
Key features
Distance indicator
A blue line shows the distance to the current target, so the player can judge how far away it is.
Reach marker
A white line marks the maximum reach, showing where the crosshair stops being able to hit.
Long-range cue
Closer red outer lines signal that a longer-range shot is available from the current position.
Use and break progress
A green shade fills with use progress and a white shade with break progress, so timing is visible at the crosshair.
