PixelSight
by StutelYT
PixelSight is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.20.1 that lets players draw a custom 16x16 crosshair in the game.
What it does
Pressing the Period key opens a 16x16 drawing grid in which the player paints a custom aiming reticle. Colors are chosen with an RGB color picker, so any hue, from neon pink to classic lime green, can be used. Changes take effect as soon as the editor is closed, and the vanilla crosshair is hidden so only the custom one remains on screen. Pressing Escape saves the design.
The mod works on a single client and needs no texture pack edits or game restart to apply a new crosshair. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players can join without installing anything. PixelSight is published for Forge only, with the V.1.1 file for 1.20.1 released on 2026-05-10, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
In-game 16x16 editor
A pixel grid opened with the Period key lets the player draw an aiming reticle one pixel at a time.
RGB color picker
Built-in color controls set any RGB value for each pixel of the crosshair.
Vanilla crosshair hidden
While the mod runs, the default Minecraft crosshair is removed so the custom design is the only one shown.
Instant preview on close
Edits are applied the moment the editor closes, with no reload or restart needed.
Save with Escape
Pressing Escape stores the finished crosshair design for later play sessions.

Use cases
Building a personal aim style
A player who finds standard reticles hard to read can draw one with a contrasting color and shape.
Matching a visual theme
Players running a stylized resource pack or a color scheme can make the crosshair match the look of the game.
Who it’s for: Players who want a different aiming reticle in Minecraft 1.20.1 and are willing to draw one themselves. Because the mod runs on the client alone, it suits single-player and multiplayer play alike.
