How to Use the Dynamic Crosshair with Bows and Swords

One of the mod's standout features is a dynamic crosshair that responds to what you're holding or doing. This guide covers how to set it up so it reacts to bows and swords.

What Dynamic Does

When dynamic mode is enabled, the crosshair changes appearance based on your current action or held item instead of staying static. The mod's description specifically calls out bows and swords as examples, meaning the crosshair can shift when you nock an arrow or ready a melee swing. This gives you a visual cue that you're in an aiming or attacking state.

Enabling It

Open the crosshair customization menu and look for the dynamic option, then turn it on. You may be able to combine it with your chosen shape, color, and size so the dynamic change still matches your overall style. Test by equipping a bow and pulling it back, then switching to a sword and swinging, watching how the crosshair behaves in each case.

Tips for Combat

A dynamic crosshair is most useful in PvP and mob fighting, where knowing your aim state matters. Keep the base crosshair small and let the dynamic change make it more obvious when you're actively aiming. Because the mod works on servers, these settings carry over into multiplayer, so you can rely on the same visual feedback everywhere.
