Lost Cursor Fix
by FelixFGF
Lost Cursor Fix centers the mouse pointer automatically each time an inventory, chest, furnace or other container screen opens, so the cursor no longer lands at a random spot on the screen edge.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft places the mouse pointer inconsistently when a GUI screen opens, and inventories and chests are the most affected. Lost Cursor Fix handles that moment instead: whenever a screen opens, the cursor is set to the exact center of the window. The fix covers chests, furnaces and other containers, not only the player inventory.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join a server without installing anything. It is published for Fabric alone, with files for Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11 and 26.1 – 26.2, and the mod's source code is public under a custom license that is not open source. The author notes compatibility with Fabric 26.x and with special or April Fools experimental releases. Its Fabric file for 26.2 is version 1.1, dated 2026-09-14.
A toggle controls the behavior in-game: the lostcursorfix toggle and lostcursorfix off commands switch the centering on and off. Other Fabric mods that change mouse behavior in menus can be turned off this way when they conflict.
