Working with Better Dynamic Crosshair #
Product-specific steps, separate from the general install guide above.
Drop-in
A single Fabric build for 1.21.11 (multi-loader matrix planned). Place in mods and it replaces the static crosshair with a dynamic one.
Folder locations by platform #
| Platform | mods / resourcepacks folder | config folder |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | %appdata%\.minecraft\mods · \resourcepacks | %appdata%\.minecraft\config |
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods | ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/config |
| Linux | ~/.minecraft/mods · ~/.minecraft/resourcepacks | ~/.minecraft/config |
MultiMC / Prism users: these folders live inside Instances/<instance>/.minecraft/. Match the build to your exact Minecraft version — the compatibility table in the docs lists every supported version.
Configure #
Settings live in the config folder (JSON5 files you can edit by hand) and, where available, in the in-game settings screen the mod adds. The exact keys and keybinds are listed in the documentation and the FAQ below.
Tips for Better Dynamic Crosshair #
- Keep Better Dynamic Crosshair on the version range shown on its product page.
- If it doesn't load, confirm the JAR is in the right mods folder for the launcher and version you chose.
- Bedrock Edition, mobile, and console can't run Java Edition mods or packs — for a port or custom variant, request a commission.
