How to Hide or Show the Crosshair in Different Game Modes

The mod lets you control crosshair visibility per situation, which is useful because the crosshair matters far more in some contexts than others. These toggles are found in the crosshair customization menu under visibility or display options.

Hiding It Entirely

If you want no crosshair at all — for cinematic screenshots, recording, or a cleaner view — there is a master toggle to disable it. Turning this off removes the crosshair from your screen completely until you re-enable it.

Per-Mode Visibility

Beyond the master switch, the mod offers options to show or hide the crosshair depending on what you're doing. You can keep it visible while in combat or aiming but hide it in other states, so it only appears when it's actually useful. This is handy for players who find a permanent crosshair distracting while exploring or building.

Dynamic Behavior

Related to visibility is the dynamic feature: the crosshair can change or react when you use certain items, such as drawing a bow or swinging a sword. Combined with the visibility toggles, you can create a setup where the crosshair is minimal by default but becomes prominent the moment you enter combat. Adjust these together and test in a safe area before relying on them in a fight.
