What it does

The mod changes how the game reads keyboard and mouse input. A dark title bar option is also included for the game window.

Pylon works with the LWJGL3 compatibility layer. It is a client-side mod, so only the player's game needs it and servers can run without it. Files are published for Forge, Java Agent, Legacy Fabric and Ornithe, with 0.2.2 as the latest build for 1.12.2, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. The code is open source and public links exist for the source and the issue tracker.

Key features

  1. High-polling-rate mouse support

    Mice that report at high polling rates are read without the stutter the vanilla input loop can cause.

  2. Stuck key and button fixes

    Keys and mouse buttons that remain held after release are corrected, so movement does not continue unexpectedly.

  3. Clipboard and display input

    Clipboard handling is corrected, and display input overhead is reduced for smoother window interaction.
