Crosshair Indicator is a client-side Fabric mod that changes how your crosshair looks the moment you can swing at a player's hitbox. It works like the vanilla attack indicator, but it shows attack eligibility through the crosshair itself. Anyone looking for a crosshair indicator mod gets one focused tool with a single job.
Loaders and versions
- Fabric: Minecraft 1.20.1 to 26.2. The newest build needs no dependencies.
What it changes in play
Crosshair Indicator moves the signal to where your eyes already are, so you read it faster and more easily. It is no longer restricted to fully charged attacks, which means the cue still helps when you swing early.
Installation
- 1.Install Fabric for your game version by following the Fabric setup guide.
- 2.Download the mod file from Modrinth. The newest release needs no other mods.
- 3.Place the .jar file in the mods folder inside your game directory, .minecraft/mods by default. The general mod guide covers the folder layout.
- 4.Launch the game with the Fabric profile and look at your crosshair near another player.
Side and trade-offs
Only Fabric is supported, so Forge and NeoForge players cannot use it. The mod is Java Edition only, since Bedrock cannot load mods. Modrinth shows it with over three million downloads.
Questions about Crosshair Indicator.
4 questions
Is there a crosshair mod that shows when a player is in attack range?
Yes. Crosshair Indicator changes your crosshair when you can swing at a player's hitbox. It works like the vanilla attack indicator but uses the crosshair, so the cue is easier to see, and it is not limited to fully charged attacks.
Does Crosshair Indicator work on Bedrock Edition?
No. Crosshair Indicator is a Java Edition mod built for Fabric, and Bedrock Edition cannot load mods of this kind. To use it you need a Java install with Fabric set up to match the mod file you download, with the .jar placed in the mods folder on your own client.
Do I need to install Crosshair Indicator on the server?
No. The mod is required on the client only, and server installs are unsupported. Put it in your own mods folder and play as usual.
Does Crosshair Indicator need Fabric API?
No. The newest release lists no required dependencies. You only need Fabric itself, installed for the same Minecraft version as the mod file you choose.
