IWantToHitFromThreeBlocks
by B_E_E
IWantToHitFromThreeBlocks is a Fabric client mod that draws a reach indicator and dynamic crosshairs so a player can see the distance to a target.
What it does
The mod displays a 3D reach visualization and a set of dynamic crosshairs, which are meant to help a player judge hit distance and react faster in combat. Players can fine-tune the hit distance the indicator reports, so the display matches the range they care about.
The mod runs on the client alone, so players join a server without installing it and the server needs nothing extra. Fabric API is required. Builds exist for 1.20 – 1.21.11, with v1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Public links for the source code and the issue tracker are available. The first release was published on 2026-05-15, and the last update was on 2026-06-11. Snapshot builds are not part of the release list.

Use cases
Practicing reach in combat
Players who train PvP timing can watch the indicator to learn the exact distance at which their hits land.
Adjusting for a server's rules
Players can set the hit distance to match the range a server expects, before they test a fight.
Who it’s for: Players who fight in PvP or practice reach timing on a Fabric client will find the indicator and crosshair options most useful. Server owners do not need to install the mod, since only the client runs it.
