CrosshairUtils
by betterclient
CrosshairUtils gives players a set of crosshair settings for Fabric, covering color, shape and blend mode, and an optional custom crosshair drawn by the player.
What it does
The mod changes how the crosshair looks in the game window. A player can set its color and the color of the attack indicator separately, choose a blend mode for how it mixes with the scene, and pick a shape. The shape can also change when the crosshair points at an entity or a block, so the player sees a distinct cue on each target type.
Players who want a crosshair that matches their own design can draw one instead of using the default. Every option is a client setting, so no server needs the mod and multiplayer players can use it on any server. CrosshairUtils requires Mod Menu to open its settings screen from the mod list.
The files target Fabric only, for game versions 1.20.4 – 26.1.2, and the latest build is 1.0 for 1.20.6, published on 2026-05-25. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Crosshair settings
A settings screen collects the crosshair options in one place, so changes can be made without editing files.
Custom crosshair color
The color of the crosshair itself can be set to any value the player chooses.
Attack indicator color
The attack indicator has its own color setting, separate from the crosshair.
Blend mode and shape
A blend mode controls how the crosshair mixes with the background, and the shape can be customized to suit the player.
Target-based shape
The shape can change when the crosshair points at an entity or a block, marking each target type differently.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want more control over the crosshair in single-player or multiplayer. Because the mod runs only on the client, server owners do not need to install it.
How it compares
Centered Crosshair is a Fabric client mod under the MIT License, published for 1.20 – 26.3, and it is open source. Crosshair Player Indicator is also client-side only and under the MIT License, but it is not open source and has a file for 1.21.11 alone. Third Person Crosshair covers 1.20.6 – 1.21 and is open source under the MIT License, while CrosshairUtils adds the color, blend and target-shape options that these mods do not list.
