No Escape
by Player005
No Escape stops the keys that normally leave a Minecraft session, so a player cannot quit the game by accident during play.
What it does
The mod blocks the ordinary ways of leaving a world or closing the game. Opening the escape menu, quitting to the title screen, switching worlds, changing settings, exiting fullscreen with F11, closing the window with Alt+F4 from the main menu and switching windows with Alt+Tab are all restricted while it is active. Holding two keys together, such as left Alt and right Shift, is the documented hotkey that bypasses those limits.
The restrictions are a deliberate barrier against accidental exits rather than a lock on the game. Because the bypass is a fixed key combination, a player who needs to leave the session can still do so once they use it. The mod runs on the client only, so a server does not need to install it and players can join without it.
No Escape is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 30 release versions, 1.16 – 1.21.6, with 1.1.1 for 1.21.6 as the latest file on each loader.

Use cases
Protecting long sessions
A player running a long build, timed run or stream can avoid losing progress to a misplaced key press.
Shared screens
Someone playing on a shared computer or in front of an audience can keep the window from closing by accident.
Who it’s for: Players who want protection against accidental exits during long sessions, streams or shared-screen play, and who are comfortable using a bypass combination when they really need to leave.
