Create Toolbox Input Fix

by Vsna

Create Toolbox Input Fix stops the Create Toolbox GUI from opening twice when a single key press is made, on Fabric for 1.20.1.

FabricClient required, server optionalAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

A single press of the Toolbox key can open the Create Toolbox menu twice because Create handles both the press and the release event as open requests. The fix patches Create's Toolbox input handler so the GUI opens once per key press, and it filters out the duplicate release-triggered open events while keeping normal key behavior intact. Holding the key longer no longer reopens the menu, which previously could leave the Toolbox screen stuck until Escape was pressed.

The mod only changes how Toolbox input is handled and touches nothing else. It is a client-side fix: only the player's client needs it, and a server can run without it. The mod requires Fabric and Create, and is published for Fabric only, with a single build for 1.20.1 released on 2026-05-18. It is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. One open per key press

    The Toolbox GUI opens once for each press of the key, rather than twice.

  2. Duplicate release events filtered

    Release-triggered open events are dropped, so the menu does not reopen after the key is let go.

  3. Normal key behavior kept

    Toolbox input works as usual otherwise, and only the duplicate open events are affected.

  4. Narrow scope

    The patch targets Toolbox input handling alone and leaves the rest of Create unchanged.

Use cases

Players using the Create Toolbox

Players who open the Toolbox often and see the menu appear twice can install the fix on their client to get a single open per press.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric 1.20.1 with Create installed who use the Create Toolbox and want its key to open the menu once.

How it compares

Full comparison

Server Toolbox is server-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and published for Fabric across 1.20 – 1.20.1, so it does not address the client input issue. SwapHand is client-side only, not open source, released under All rights reserved, and built for 1.20.1 on Fabric, but it changes hand swapping rather than Toolbox input.

Questions

Does Create Toolbox Input Fix need to be installed on the server?

No. The mod is client required and server optional, so only the player's client needs it for the fix to apply.

Which loader does Create Toolbox Input Fix support?

Only Fabric. The mod has a single file for 1.20.1 and does not have builds for Forge or NeoForge.

Does Create Toolbox Input Fix require Create?

Yes. The mod patches the Create Toolbox, so Create must be installed alongside it on Fabric 1.20.1.

What the author says

A tiny client-side fix mod for Create on Fabric 1.20.1. The issue happens because Create receives both press and release input events and incorrectly opens the Toolbox menu twice.
