Radial
by velolib
Radial is a Fabric menu mod for Minecraft that opens a radial menu of shortcuts, and it is designed around forward-only development on the newest version.
What it does
Radial presents a simple, opinionated radial menu that works without configuration after installation. Only the client needs it: players install it, and servers do not. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional companions for browsing and adjusting settings.
The author develops and tests only the newest targeted version, so new features, improvements and bug fixes reach the latest build only. Patches for older versions are backported at the author's discretion. Earlier releases remain downloadable for players on older modpacks, provided as-is and without further updates. Current files cover 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 3.2.2+26.3 for 26.3 as the latest file.
Radial is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. It was first published on 2025-12-30 and last updated on 2026-10-05.

How it compares
Command Pouch is open source under the MIT License, client-side only, and covers 1.21.1 – 26.2 on Fabric, so its range reaches older versions than Radial. tacticalwheel is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.11 only, released under All rights reserved and not open source, so it targets the same version as Radial's 1.21.11 build without being open source. Easy Macros is client-side and offers files for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.16.5 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, so it covers several loaders where Radial covers only Fabric.
