Simple Crosshair
by Sabby
Simple Crosshair lets players customize the crosshair on Fabric through an in-game menu that previews changes live.
What it does
The mod replaces the default crosshair with one the player designs. Pressing R opens the customization menu, where each change appears on screen immediately, so the result can be judged in the game view before it is kept. Built-in presets provide starting points, and a player can import a PNG image as a custom crosshair.
Only the client needs the mod, so players can use it on single-player worlds and on servers that do not install it. Simple Crosshair is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric. Files cover 1.21.9 – 26.1.2, with the latest build made for 26.1.2.
Key features

Each adjustment is shown on the crosshair as it is made, without restarting the game or leaving the screen.
Built-in presets
A set of ready-made crosshair styles is included for players who want a quick starting point.
Custom PNG crosshairs
