Custom Crosshair
by Fliflightmc
Custom Crosshair replaces the vanilla crosshair with one that players shape, color and size from a settings screen inside the game.
What it does
The mod lets a player pick one of five crosshair shapes: cross, dot, X, circle and T. Each shape can be recolored with eight presets or RGB sliders, and its size, thickness, center gap and related values are adjusted with sliders. A live preview in the settings screen shows the result before the change is kept. Six ready-made presets, including Classic, Cross, Dot, X, Circle, T and Valorant, give a starting point for players who do not want to build a crosshair by hand.
Custom Crosshair runs only on the client, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It depends on Fabric API and works with Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.21.4, the only game version the mod is built for. Its files are released under All rights reserved and the code is not open source. The default key opens the settings screen, and the crosshair can be changed without adding any resource packs.

Use cases
Combat practice
Players who train in PvP or tactical shooters can set a precise crosshair and keep it between sessions.
Visibility on busy backgrounds
A recolored or resized crosshair can stand out over snow, sand or dark caves where the default one blends in.
Who it’s for: Players who want a different crosshair without installing a resource pack, especially those who play competitive or combat-focused content on a Fabric client for 1.21.4.
How it compares
CrosshairUtils is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.4 – 26.1.2, a wider range than the single 1.21.4 build of Custom Crosshair. Circular Crosshair is client-side only and published for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so it targets a newer game version. Crosshair Player Indicator is client-side only, released under the MIT License and built for 1.21.11.
