Lex's Combat Improvements
by MrLexCat
Lex's Combat Improvements changes how crosshairs, bows and crossbows behave during fights, and it is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.11.
What it does
The crosshair gives the player an ability zoom, and the target under it is read out so the player can tell which entity or block is being looked at. Entities, mineable blocks and interactable blocks such as a chest are each recognized from the crosshair. When a bow or crossbow is held in hand, aiming with it is changed as well, which is aimed at PvP and PvE fights.
The mod is described by its author as an improvement set for Minecraft PvP and PvE combat. It runs on the client only, so players install it themselves and servers can run without it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11 alone, and the latest is 1.0.0, dated 2026-04-23. The code is all rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
