Interactive Block Prompt
by HaooooZhang
Interactive Block Prompt shows a prompt for the block under the crosshair, so players can see what a click or key press will do.
What it does
The mod adds interactive indicators to the crosshair, marking points of interest such as a block a player can use. It is client-side in function and only the player's client needs it, so a server can run without it. The author describes a customizable crosshair overhaul that adds these indicators to the standard game HUD.
Files are published for Forge and NeoForge. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 across three release versions: 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2. The latest Forge file is 1.2.0 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.2.1 for 26.1.2. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the author says the mod is free to use in modpacks and to distribute directly without a link back.
Development is ongoing, and the maintainer intends to add support for further Minecraft releases and new functions over time. The first release was published on 2025-08-24 and the most recent update on 2026-04-13. The author thanks TimyaSifer for drawing the icons used in the mod.
