Button Fix
by Unnamed (2)
Players who notice a button stay highlighted after a click can use Button Fix, a small client-side mod that resets widget focus in the in-game GUI.
What it does
After a mouse click, a vanilla button, slider or similar control in the interface may keep its focus highlight until the player selects a different element. Button Fix resolves this by resetting focus properly after each interaction. The mod covers sliders and pressable widgets across in-game screens, including the recipe book button, inventory screen buttons, main menu and pause menu buttons, and the mod config screens.
Focus has been an issue since the 1.19.4 version, and the highlight is most visible when resource packs change how GUI widgets look. Button Fix is listed as Client-side only, so it adds nothing to a server. It requires Fabric API, and its files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest builds cover 1.19.4 – 26.3, with 1.1.0 as the current version for 26.3. The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is not open source.
Key features
Focus reset after clicks
Buttons, sliders and other widgets stop staying highlighted once the player has finished interacting with them.
Coverage across GUI screens
The fix applies to the main menu, pause menu, inventory and recipe book, along with the mod config screens.
Resource pack compatibility
The highlight is less distracting with resource packs that change the look of GUI widgets.
Targets vanilla widgets
The mod works on the vanilla widget implementations rather than replacing the screens themselves.

What the author says
A small client-side mod that fixes widget focus issues in any in-game GUI. In Vanilla, GUI buttons and sliders remain focused after a mouse click until another widget claims focus for every version since 1.19.4. This can be visually distracting - especially when using resource packs that change the appearance of GUI…
