Hold Your Buttons

Crafting a wooden button can happen by mistake when a player shift-clicks planks in the inventory or the Crafting Table, and the result takes the planks meant for sticks, trapdoors or pressure plates. The mod intercepts that craft and shows a confirmation pop-up first, so the player can cancel before the ingredients are used up. It works on the Crafting Table and the inventory crafting grid, in Survival and in the other modes that allow those screens.

The confirmation includes the exact number of buttons the ingredients would produce, calculated from the recipe in use, so the prompt states what the craft will yield. Custom recipes are supported, which lets the safeguard cover the items a modpack adds as well as the vanilla ones. The mod works in single-player worlds, on multiplayer servers and on Realms, since it runs only on the player's client.

Settings live in a configuration file that lets the player change the formatting and toggle the confirmation screen. The mod requires Fabric API and is published only for Fabric, with a single file for 26.2, version 1.0.0. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source.
