Cursor Tweaks
by Pathdos
Cursor Tweaks lets players reopen an inventory with the cursor where they last left it, or at a fixed position they choose.
What it does
When a player closes an inventory and opens one again, the cursor returns to the last place it was left. A separate mode keeps a custom fixed position instead, so the cursor always starts from the same spot. Players can also leave the cursor where it is and open inventories normally, with no memory applied. The settings are changed in the mod's configuration screen, which opens through Mod Menu.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It requires Cloth Config API for its configuration screen. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.9, 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

How it compares
OldCursor is open source under the MIT License, is Fabric only and covers 1.21.10 – 1.21.11. ManualTotem is Fabric only, uses All rights reserved and is not open source, with files for 1.21 – 26.1.2. More Cursors is open source under the MIT License for Fabric and Quilt, covering 1.20 – 1.21.8. Cursor Tweaks is not open source and covers 1.21.9 – 1.21.11, so it is the option for that version range without an open-source license.
