CrosshairTarget Filter
by LitnhJacuzzi
CrosshairTarget Filter lets players pick which entities and blocks the crosshair can interact with, so that a pass-through target is skipped when aiming.
What it does
The filter works on the target the crosshair points at. Entities and blocks can be listed by type, tag, category or name, and anything on the list is treated as picked by the crosshair while anything off it is ignored. A list can therefore be an allow-list of what the crosshair may pick, or a block-list of what it must pass through. Types use a full identifier such as minecraft:pig, tags use a form such as minecraft:undead, categories use names such as MONSTER, and names match a custom name. A wandering trader, for example, belongs to the CREATURE category.
The F3 debug overlay shows the current target and its identifiers, which helps when writing a list. The overlay exposes this information from version 26.1 on. Blocks are filtered by type or tag in the same way. Naming conventions for the lists are described in the mod's documentation and should be read before editing them. The mod is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it, and it reads Fabric API and Cloth Config API when those are installed for its settings screen. Mod Menu is optional and provides access to that screen. Some filtering can be seen by other players as an unfair advantage depending on server policies, so the author states that use is at the player's own risk.
Key features
Entity filtering
Entities can be listed so the crosshair passes through or only picks the entries on the list.
Block filtering
Filtering blocks by type or by tag lets the crosshair skip or pick out particular kinds of block.
Type, tag, category and name matching
A target is matched by identifier, tag, category or custom name, with the formats shown in the documentation.
F3 identifier lookup
The F3 debug overlay shows the identifiers needed for the lists, from version 26.1 on.
