Custom Mouse Cursors for RPG Maker MZ

Replace the default mouse pointer with a fully customizable in-game cursor that changes by switch, scene, or UI context.

Custom Cursor is a lightweight cursor replacement plugin for RPG Maker MZ that lets you display custom picture-based mouse cursors instead of the system pointer. Set a default cursor, create scene-based cursor rules, and swap cursor images dynamically for menus, battles, maps, or special gameplay states.

What It Does

• Replaces the system mouse pointer with a custom picture cursor

• Uses a default cursor image when no special rule applies

• Changes the cursor based on switches

• Changes the cursor by scene type, including maps, battles, menus, and other screens

• Supports menu-only cursor changes when hovering over window UI

• Includes plugin commands for temporary cursor changes

• Returns to normal cursor behavior when forced changes are cleared

• Supports a small script API for advanced control

Designed for Flexibility

• Put cursor images in img/system and assign them in Plugin Manager

• Create multiple cursor rules and evaluate them from top to bottom

• First matching rule is used automatically

• Set custom click points with hotspot X and Y values

• Use one cursor globally or create different cursors for different parts of your game

Smooth and Lightweight

• Optional system cursor hiding for a cleaner presentation

• Optional image preloading at startup to reduce delay

• Simple rule-based setup with no complex eventing required

• Works well for polished menus, immersive exploration, and genre-specific UI styling
