Cursors
by 0xDED
Cursors changes the mouse pointer shown in game screens, so the cursor image reflects what sits under it.
What it does
The mod is a library for Fabric on Minecraft 1.21.1 that replaces the vanilla mouse cursor in GUIs with custom cursor images. Other mods can use it to show a different pointer for hovered objects, slots, grabbed items, clickable elements and text fields. Fabric API is required.
Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the project is open source under the MIT License. Files are published for Fabric, for 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2025-10-22.
Key features
Custom screen cursors
Replaces the default mouse pointer in screens with custom cursor images drawn by the library.
Hovered object states
Distinct cursor images show when the pointer hovers an inaccessible object or a plain one with nothing to do.
Slot and item feedback
A cursor can change while hovering over an inventory slot or while carrying an item.
Clickable and text input cues
The pointer can signal a clickable element or an input field that accepts text.
