Chat Indolence

by NymNux

Chat Indolence lets players close the chat screen with a single mouse click, without moving the mouse, by pressing the ESC key.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License26.1.2 – 26.2

What it does

The mod changes how the chat screen closes. Pressing ESC while the chat is open, together with one mouse click that does not move the cursor, shuts the screen. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric, for 26.1.2 and 26.2, under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source. Bland UI, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required.

Key features

  1. Click-to-close chat

    A single mouse click with the cursor held still closes the chat screen while ESC is pressed.

  2. Stationary cursor check

    The click only counts when the mouse has not moved, so a drag does not close the chat by accident.

  3. Client-only setup

    The change happens on the player's own game, with no part running on the server.
