Flashside
by TerminalMC
Flashside moves the Flashback recording buttons off the pause menu's main column and onto the side of the game menu, so a player leaving a server is less likely to hit Start Recording by accident.
What it does
Flashside is a client-side Fabric utility that finds the first entry in the pause screen and anchors the Flashback recording buttons to it, placing them beside the menu. Players install it alongside Flashback, Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu, all of which are required. Builds are published for 1.21 – 1.21.8, and the latest file, 0.5.0+1.21.6+fb0.35.2, targets 1.21.8 on the beta channel. The code is under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source. The author notes that since v0.36.0 the core functionality is included in Flashback itself, and that the project is not affiliated with Flashback.
Key features
Button repositioning
The recording buttons are moved to the side of the pause menu instead of sitting among the standard options.
Reference detection
The first button on the pause screen is detected automatically and used as the anchor for the new placement.
Accidental-click guard
Keeping Start Recording away from the leave-server button reduces the chance of starting a recording by mistake.
