Reach (View)
Reach (View) is a Fabric client mod that shows the current reach distance on a customizable crosshair display, for players who want to see how far their target is.
What it does
The mod draws a crosshair that can be set to one of five shapes: plus, circle, dot, diagonal cross, or a custom shape drawn by the player. Size, gap, thickness and opacity are all adjustable. The crosshair changes color depending on whether the target is within the reach distance or beyond it, so the state is visible at a glance.
A built-in canvas editor, opened with the G key, lets players draw their own crosshair one pixel at a time. A separate on-screen readout shows the current reach distance in real time. Its position can be changed by dragging it anywhere on the screen, opened with the H key, and its font size, text color, background color, border and padding can be set. An outline option gives the text a clean 3D look. Reach (View) runs on the client only, so players install it alone and servers do not need it. It requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API on Fabric 1.21.1, and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings from the mod list.

How it compares
UltimateCustomCrosshair is a Fabric crosshair mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, and it does not show reach distance. Reach Circles is a Fabric client mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved that displays reach as circles around the target. CrosshairX covers only 1.21.11 and is under All rights reserved, so it does not fit 1.21.1 installs. Reach (View) is limited to 1.21.1 under a custom license, while the others share the client-side environment.
