About this Mod

Cursor Backport

This mod backports mouse cursor styles from 1.21.9.

Notice

Animated cursor may not work well under X11. This is same as vanilla 1.21.9, and I can't fix it. But it works well in Wayland.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cursor Backport server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Cursor Backport compatible with fabric and forge?

Cursor Backport officially supports fabric, forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Cursor Backport – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Cursor Backport consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
