NoCapsInChat
by Farsighted
NoCapsInChat stops the Caps Lock key from switching on capitals while the chat window is open, so typing in chat is not affected by it.
What it does
Once a chat window is open, pressing Caps Lock has no effect on the letters being typed, and the key keeps working everywhere else in the game. The change lives entirely in the client, so only the player who installs it is affected. It runs silently in the background and adds no screens, menus or commands.
Because the change happens only on the client, servers do not need the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for one game version, 26.1.2, under All rights reserved. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 26.1.2, first released on 2026-07-04.
Players who want to keep Caps Lock available for keybinds but never want it to change chat input can use this mod as a narrow fix. Fabric is the only loader it targets, so a Forge or NeoForge player would need a different option.
Key features
Caps Lock blocked in chat
With a chat window open, the Caps Lock key does not switch the typed letters to capitals.
Keybinds unaffected
Caps Lock still works for keybinds outside the chat window, so it is not disabled across the whole game.
Silent background operation
The mod runs without any visible interface, messages or configuration to change.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Using Caps Lock as a keybind
A player who binds Caps Lock to an action can keep that binding while typing in chat without the keys interfering.
Accidental capitals in chat
A player who often leaves Caps Lock on by mistake can keep messages in normal case while the chat window is open.
Who it’s for: The mod suits Fabric players on Minecraft 26.1.2 who want Caps Lock to work as a game key without changing chat text. It is a single-purpose client mod with no other features.
How it compares
MacOS Caps Lock Fix is a Fabric mod for 1.14 – 26.1.2 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. No Caps Lock is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, and it is open source. Escobar is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.6 – 26.3 under the MIT License, and it is open source. NoCapsInChat differs from all three in being released under All rights reserved rather than under the MIT License.
