Crosshair Tweaks
With Crosshair Tweaks, players can hide, fade or reshape the vanilla crosshair and its attack indicator on the client without changing gameplay.
What it does
Crosshair Tweaks is a client-side utility that changes how the vanilla crosshair is drawn. Individual options let a player turn the crosshair off, hide it while a container screen is open, keep it visible in third-person view, or show it in spectator mode. Blending of the crosshair and of the attack indicator can be removed, and each element has its own opacity setting.
The mod is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Ornithe across 24 release versions, 1.8.9 – 26.3. Its Fabric builds target 26.3 and its NeoForge builds 1.21.8. Required dependencies are Fabric API, Mod Menu, OneConfig and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Only the player's client needs the mod, and the server does not have to run it. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The mod was first published on 2023-07-17 and last updated on 2026-10-03.
Front view crosshair disabler for crosshair tweaks is the one other catalog mod that requires it, and players who use it alongside Crosshair Tweaks should install both on their client.
Key features
Disable crosshair
Removes the crosshair from the screen entirely for players who do not want it drawn.
Hide in containers
Hides the crosshair while a container screen is open, so it does not overlap inventory slots.
Show in third person
Keeps the crosshair visible when the camera is in a third-person view.
Crosshair and indicator opacity
Separate opacity sliders set how transparent the crosshair and the attack indicator appear.

A small QOL mod that lets you alter the vanilla crosshair in small ways. I also recommend using Centered Crosshair!
