This mod attempts to add the visual cursor updates from present versions of Minecraft into older ones. For example, in the versions 1.21.9 or later, hovering over buttons makes the cursor turn into the pointer icon. Or hovering your mouse over a text box turns it into a caret icon, etc.
Disclaimer
This mod does not add every cursor feature from the new visual behavior of present versions. If you wish to see more features related to Minecraft's cursor behavior then feel free to suggest it in the discord server!
This gif shows the cursor being changed based on the UI elements the cursor is being hovered on. The cursor is quite small but I have tried time and time again to make it bigger and it doesn't work. My apologies.
