Custom Caret
by hx7kz
Custom Caret lets players change the text cursor in Minecraft menus, search bars and chat, with control over its look and motion.
What it does
The mod changes how the text caret appears in text fields. Players can design their own caret color, switch the blinking off, replace the thin line with a custom cursor shape, or let the caret glide smoothly between characters instead of jumping. Each option sits in the mod's settings screen.
Custom Caret runs on the Fabric loader for Minecraft 26.1 – 26.2. Only the client needs it, so players install it and servers do not. The code is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Custom caret screen
A settings screen collects every caret option so players can adjust the cursor without editing files.
Smooth gliding caret
The caret can animate from one character to the next, moving more smoothly than the default jump.
Caret color and shape
Players set their own caret color and can disable the line cursor in favor of a custom design.
