Adapting Combat and Block Targeting to the Animated Reticle

Understanding Visual Movement vs. Actual Targeting

When you first play with an animated reticle, the movement can feel different from the rigid vanilla crosshair. However, the mod strictly preserves vanilla interaction logic:

• Block Targeting: When mining or placing blocks, the actual target point still aligns with vanilla game mechanics. The swaying motion does not displace where your clicks register on block faces.
• Combat Hitboxes: When targeting mobs, their actual collision boxes and attack detection zones are not moved or modified by the visual bounce.

Timing Swings and Combat Hits

To stay accurate during combat encounters:

1. Track your target mob in your field of view just as you would in standard gameplay.

2. When you swing your weapon, observe the reactive nudge. Even though the reticle bounces slightly upon swinging or hitting an enemy, your attack timing, weapon cooldowns, and reach stay completely unchanged.

3. Use the reactive bounce as a visual confirmation of your swing action rather than an offset to compensate for. You do not need to alter your mouse aiming to counter the reticle sway.
