Observing Crosshair Sway and Tool Swing Animations

Checking Walk and Run Sway

Once you load into a world, you do not need to configure any special menu options. To test the basic movement effect, simply walk or sprint across any flat terrain. In vanilla Minecraft, the crosshair remains static while your hand tilts, but with this mod, the aiming reticle actively follows your steps. You will notice the crosshair swaying gently in rhythm with your character's movement across blocks, providing a smooth and connected visual experience.

Testing Tool and Weapon Bounces

In addition to walking sway, the reticle reacts dynamically whenever you swing an item or attack:

1. Equip any tool, weapon, or leave your main hand empty.

2. Left-click to swing into the air or strike a block.

3. Notice the small reactive nudge and bounce that occurs on the reticle with each swing.

4. Approach an enemy mob and land an attack; the reticle produces that same reactive bounce upon connecting with the target.

Because this is purely a visual enhancement, the animation operates instantly out of the box with zero impact on your framerate.
