Free Cursor
by Makevich
With Free Cursor, a player can release the mouse cursor on demand, using a configurable keybind or the F6 key, and return to the game with the left mouse button or Escape.
What it does
The mod lets a player free the cursor instantly while in the game, so menus and windows can be used without leaving the current view. The release key can be changed in the controls settings. Returning to the game is done with a left click or by pressing Escape.
Free Cursor can also hide the HUD on demand, using the F1 key, and remove the background blur that Minecraft draws behind open screens. The interface text is offered in 14 languages, covering most of Europe, Asia and the Americas, with Simplified and Traditional Chinese among them.
The mod is client-side only, so it changes nothing on a server and players join without installing it. Fabric API is required on Fabric. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge across the 19 release versions 1.20.5 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only.
