Click Out of Containers

by Microcontrollers

Click Out of Containers lets a click outside an open container window close it automatically, on Fabric and NeoForge.

FabricNeoForgeClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.10

What it does

Normally a click outside the bounds of an open container does nothing useful, but with this mod a click past the window closes the container. The behavior comes from a Minecraft feature that a touch screen triggers, and the mod makes that feature available with a mouse. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 1.21.10 and are released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required.

Only the client needs the mod, so players install it while servers do not. Because it can cause unintended side effects with other mods, the config lets a player turn the feature off quickly if issues arise.

Key features

  1. Click-outside closing

    A click outside an open container window closes the container, as the touch screen feature already does.

  2. Quick toggle in config

    The config screen can disable the outside-click behavior at once when it conflicts with another mod.

  3. Client-side behavior

    The change applies only on the player's client, so no server-side install is needed.

What the author says

Minecraft has a feature that lets you click outside the bounds of a container to automatically close it while using touch screen. Unfortunately, this feature is locked behind requiring using touch screen, but this mod allows you to bypass that restriction! Please note that this may cause issues with other mods or…
