Entity Crosshair

by Tomeko

With Entity Crosshair, the crosshair can be recolored and reshaped, and it switches to show the entity the player is looking at.

What it does

The crosshair is drawn at the center of the screen and can be customized in color, scale, rotation and position. Several colors can be set at once, and a toggle keeps it centered. The crosshair changes when the player looks at an entity, so the entity under aim is easier to read. It can also replace the general crosshair, appear alongside Minecraft's 3D crosshair, and stay visible in GUIs.

Layouts can be saved and loaded, so different setups can be kept for different tasks. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Fabric API, OneConfig and Ornithe Standard Libraries are required, and Mod Menu or Mod Menu Ornithe can be added for an in-game settings screen. OneConfig is bundled inside the mod. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Ornithe, covering 1.8.9 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Custom crosshair shape

    Color, scale, rotation and position of the crosshair can each be adjusted, and several colors can be used at once.

  2. Entity-aware display

    The crosshair takes a different form while the player looks at an entity, so the target stands out.

  3. Saved layouts

    Different crosshair layouts can be saved and loaded, so a preferred setup can be switched back to quickly.

  4. Replace or combine modes

    The crosshair can take the place of the general crosshair or be shown with Minecraft's 3D crosshair.

  5. GUI visibility

    The crosshair can stay visible while inventories and other GUIs are open, when the option is enabled.
