Personalized Crosshair / Reticule

Personalized Crosshair / Reticule is a server-side mod that lets server operators customize the in-game crosshair experience in Hytale.

Using the /reticule command, operators can open an in-game GUI that allows selecting from 6 different reticle styles (with more planned). The selected reticles are applied globally to all players on the server.

🔹 How it works

Due to current Hytale limitations, client-side modification is not supported. Because of this:

The crosshair applies to all players on the server

The command is OP-only

Individual per-player crosshairs are not possible at this time

The mod dynamically generates and manages its own asset pack to override the default Hytale reticles.

🔹 Reticle Modes

You can configure two separate reticles:

Melee – Used for all weapons (swords, daggers, bows, crossbows, etc.)

Default – Used for tools and all non-weapon items

You can:

Use different reticles for each mode

Or set both to the same reticle

Quickly reset everything back to the original Hytale reticles at any time

🔹 Commands

/reticule – Opens the reticle selection GUI (OP only)

⚠️ Important Installation Note

After installing the mod for the first time, a server restart is required. This is necessary so Hytale can properly load the custom asset directory created by the mod. After the initial restart, reticle changes will hot-reload automatically.
