MACTouchMC
by ROOCKYdev
MACTouchMC brings MacBook Touch Bar support to Minecraft, showing game controls on the strip while a player is in the game.
What it does
MACTouchMC switches the Touch Bar between layouts depending on the current screen, so the menu, game and debug controls each get their own set of buttons. Keys that the Touch Bar takes over can be remapped to physical keys, and the F-keys can be given back their normal function, or used for media control.
The debug features cover chunk borders, hitboxes and reload commands, each reachable with one tap. The mod is client-side only, so the server and other players do not need it. It requires Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and it is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.11. Its latest file is 1.0.0-beta for 1.21.11, released under the MIT License, and the code is open source.
Key features
Context-aware layouts
The Touch Bar changes its buttons when the player moves between the game, menus and debug screens.
Key remapping
Physical keys can be assigned to other inputs, so the Touch Bar does not need to be the only way to reach a command.
Debug suite
Chunk borders, hitboxes and reload commands sit on the Touch Bar for one-tap access.
F-key recovery
The F-keys return to their function keys, or act as media controls, with custom input extensions.

Use cases
Debugging while playing
A player who toggles chunk borders or hitboxes often can reach them from the strip without opening a menu.
Keyboard decluttering
The Touch Bar takes on game shortcuts, which frees the keyboard for typing and other tasks.
