What changes visually
The crosshair is the one change this pack advertises. The description frames it as a way to further improve the vanilla experience, and CurseForge summarizes it as a better, modern crosshair that changes the vanilla one. CurseForge files it under Medieval, Miscellaneous, Traditional, Modern and 16x.

How do I install Aimz - Better Crosshair?
Open Options, then Resource Packs, then Open Pack Folder, and place the pack's .zip file there. Return to the Resource Packs screen and move Aimz - Better Crosshair to the Selected side.
Does Aimz - Better Crosshair need OptiFine or other mods?
No. The newest file lists no requirements, so it works as a plain resource pack. It has no loader and does not depend on any library, which means you can use it on a vanilla Java install.

No. It is a Java resource pack, and Bedrock uses a different pack format. The file will not load there as it is, so Bedrock players need a crosshair pack made for that edition.
