Showcase Bedrock-Style Cursors

Already made a Resource Pack for v3 of Minecraft Cursor? Convert it with the V3 Converter.

Get started here: https://fishstiz.github.io/cursors_extended-wiki/resource-pack/getting-started

⚠️ Resource packs made before 1.21.9 (v3) are not compatible with versions including and after 1.21.9 (v4) and vice versa. Please use the converter above.
⚠️ Some resource packs may be marked as compatible even though its not, as some creators are not aware of this distinction.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

  1. Custom Cursor for Windows/Linux/Others

    There's no plans for custom cursors for your operating system mainly because the textures are incomplete.

  2. Mod does not work

    Likely an incompatibility with other mods. Open a new issue, include your version details and latest.log (or mod list at the very least).

  3. Resource Pack does not work

    The resource pack is probably made for a different version. Also, some creators incorrectly tag their resource pack as compatible. You can upgrade/downgrade resource packs from here: https://fishstiz.github.io/cursors_extended-wiki/tools. v3 is 1.21.8 and below, and v4 is 1.21.9 and above.

  4. Why isn't auto-scale the default

    Some mods like Axiom and Resourcify may change the GUI scale for their GUIs, and it will be jarring to have the cursor scale change when interacting with those mods.

  5. My settings keep getting reset randomly

    Cursor settings are reset every time resource pack settings change. It's intentional to avoid issues such as:

    • switching to a resource pack with smaller textures and making the cursor barely visible when the user settings make the cursor smaller.
    • switching to a resource pack with different hotspots and making the actual click spot nowhere near the texture suggests due to the user settings.
