Shutdown
by Naw7
Shutdown adds a Quit Desktop option to the pause menu, so a player can close the game straight to the desktop without going through the title screen.
What it does
The pause menu gains a Quit Desktop button, and the power button in that menu turns red when hovered to mark it as the exit action. An optional confirmation popup can appear before the game closes, and an optional tooltip can show the session time played. A separate option skips the main menu, so the game can be quit straight from the world.
Shutdown is a client-side only mod, so it changes nothing on a server and multiplayer players need nothing extra beyond their own install. It runs on the Fabric loader for 26.1.2, with files for 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, and is released under the MIT License as open source. Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu are required, and Cloth Config API supplies the settings screen for the optional behaviours.
The latest Fabric file is 1.1+26.1 for 26.1.2, published on 2026-04-13. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the first release dates from 2026-03-06.
