Star Cursor
by Suxar1k
Glow Pointer swaps the default mouse pointer for a glowing pointer with spark effects, and its settings are adjusted in-game.
What it does
The mod replaces the default cursor with a glowing pointer that leaves trail particles as it moves, and plays a crystal chime on click. Players choose the pointer color with a built-in color picker, then set its size up to 200 percent, the particle count and the click volume. A default button restores the original settings at any time. The configuration menu opens from the Config button in the Mods list.
Glow Pointer works on the client alone, so only players need it installed and servers can run without it. It is released under the MIT License, and the code is not open source. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1.
