CustomCrosshair
by Ranush
CustomCrosshair lets players reshape the crosshair, choosing its draw shape, color and hit effects from an in-game menu.
What it does
Players set the crosshair's shape and color through an interface that needs no resource packs. Options cover an outline drawn around each pixel for visibility, a flash in a chosen color when an attack lands, and an invert mode that flips the crosshair's color against whatever is behind it. A dynamic color setting switches the crosshair automatically when the player is targeting an entity.
The mod runs only on the client, so players install it alone and servers do not need it. It requires Fabric, with builds for 1.21.4 and 1.21.11, and the latest file is 1.0.1-1.21.11 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-06-15. The code is under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Custom draw shape
The crosshair's shape is drawn from settings the player chooses, rather than the default vanilla form.
Attack flash
The crosshair flashes in a custom color for a set time each time the player swings at something.
Dynamic color
The crosshair changes color on its own when it is aimed at an entity, so targets stand out.
Outline and invert
A border around each pixel keeps the crosshair visible, and invert mode reverses its color against the background.

PvP Crosshair is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.11 – 26.2, with its client-side environment matching this mod.
