Modern Controlling Toolkit
by fdym
Modern Controlling Toolkit gives Forge players on 1.12.2 a key-bound toolkit module, switched on through key bindings.
What it does
Only one module from the toolkit is included, and it is disabled by default, so a key press has to activate it. Players bind a key to turn it on and off during play, and the same binding decides when the module takes effect. Because the mod is aimed at modpacks, a pack author can enable it for everyone without asking each player to change settings.
The mod is published for Forge only, for 1.12.2 alone, with the 12.1.1.2-beta file dated 2025-08-01 as the latest build. It is client-side only, so servers run without it and only the player who wants the module installs it. Modern Controlling Toolkit needs MixinBooter and Modern Controlling Core, and its dependencies include the Mixin and MixinExtras libraries. The source code is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later.
Key features
Single module
The toolkit ships only one module, so no other parts of the toolkit are loaded.
Key-bound activation
A key press activates the module, and the binding can be changed in the controls menu.
Disabled by default
The module starts switched off, so it changes nothing until a player turns it on.
Modpack-friendly setup
The default-off state and the key binding let a modpack author decide how the module is shipped.

Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Modpack distribution
A pack author can include the module in a 1.12.2 Forge pack, leaving it disabled until players choose to use the key binding.
Who it’s for: Players on 1.12.2 Forge who want the module from this toolkit, and modpack authors who bundle it with their packs.
How it compares
The Toolkits is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 – 1.19.2 that runs on client and server and is open source under the MIT License, so it covers a different version range and needs both sides. Hide Key Binding is Forge and client-side only for 1.12.2 – 1.20.1, and it is not open source, being under All rights reserved. Rubidium Toolkit is client-side only for 1.16.5 – 1.18.2 and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, so it does not target 1.12.2.
