Advanced Crosshair is a lightweight client-side mod that changes the color of your crosshair based on your ability to hit or critical hit an enemy player:
-
🔴 Red crosshair when you're in range and can land a regular hit. (Sprint hit, sweep hit)
-
🔵 Blue crosshair when you're able to land a critical hit (falling, midair, etc).
-
Compatible with ANY texturepack. The crosshair that changes color is the one your active resource pack provides — the mod tints the vanilla sprite instead of drawing its own shape, so pack artwork is preserved. Unlike Crosshair Indicator.
-
Uses the vanilla attack indicator exactly as the game draws it.
-
Fully client-side. No configuration. No dependancies.
Open the settings from Mod Menu, or edit config/advancedcrosshair.json by hand.
| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Crosshair | ON | Master switch. Off means a completely untouched vanilla HUD. |
| Normal hit color | ON, #FFFF3333 |
Any #AARRGGBB or #RRGGBB hex code, alpha included. |
| Critical hit color | ON, #FF0080FF |
Turning this off falls back to the normal hit color, since a crit-capable moment is still a hit. |
| Crosshair scale | 100% | 50% to 500%. The attack indicator moves down to stay clear of a scaled-up crosshair. |
| Crosshair with F3 open | OFF | On, the normal crosshair is drawn instead of the debug one. |
Mod Menu is optional. Without it the mod still works and the JSON file is still read.
-
Very useful for landing Punish Crits and W-Release Crits effectively.

Can help newer players understand and practice hit timing and mechanics
