Using Dynamic Crosshairs with Modded Weapons and Combat

Target Entities with Non-Vanilla Weapons

Without a compatibility layer, custom weapons from other modifications can fail to trigger the dynamic crosshair's context changes. Dynamic Crosshair Compat corrects this behavior so non-vanilla gear responds appropriately.

1. Open your inventory and place a weapon from an installed mod into your main hand.

2. Approach a hostile mob, passive animal, or combat dummy in your environment.

3. Hover your crosshair directly over the target.

Observe Combat State Transitions

1. Note the appearance of the crosshair as your crosshair crosses over the target. Dynamic Crosshair Compat ensures the crosshair immediately adapts to indicate an attacking state, matching the feedback you expect from vanilla weapons.

2. Perform an attack against the targeted entity.

3. Pull your crosshair away from the target to observe the crosshair transition back to its idle state.

Because the compatibility mod handles custom items and combat behaviors automatically, you do not need to register custom weapon types manually to get accurate attack indicators.
