What is Native Cursor?

Native Cursor is cross-platform package that allows you to change the cursor to any of the available cursors on the OS. This is useful for games that want to use the OS's cursor instead of a custom one.

There are two modes, virtual and native cursors. Virtual cursors allows you to use .cur and .ani files for your game. Cursor stack helpers, UGUI components, UI Toolkit bindings, and an editor stack debugger are included for common interaction flows.

Compatibility

WebGL, Windows, MacOS and Linux

All NTCursors values are mapped on every supported platform. Some operating systems do not expose a perfect visual match for every shape, so Native Cursor uses the closest native OS cursor rather than falling back to a software cursor.

Installation

Unity Package Manager (git URL)

In Unity open Window > Package Manager, click + and choose Add package from git URL..., then paste:

https://github.com/BlenMiner/NativeCursor.git?path=/Assets/NativeCursor

To pin a specific release or commit, append it after #:

https://github.com/BlenMiner/NativeCursor.git?path=/Assets/NativeCursor#v1.0.0

Or add it to Packages/manifest.json directly:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.riten.nativecursor": "https://github.com/BlenMiner/NativeCursor.git?path=/Assets/NativeCursor"
  }
}

Requires Unity 2022.3 or newer. The package has no required dependencies. Two are optional and detected automatically:

• com.unity.ugui enables the OnHoverCursor, OnPressCursor, and OnDragCursor components and the example scene scripts.
• com.unity.inputsystem lets the virtual cursor's live inverted mask read the pointer position when the project uses the Input System as its active input handler. With the legacy Input Manager nothing extra is needed.

Unity Package / Asset Store

Import the .unitypackage as usual; everything lives under Assets/NativeCursor.
