Simple Close Button

by LordEnder_Kitty

Simple Close Button adds a close button to most inventory screens, so players can leave a container or menu without reaching for the Escape key.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20 – 1.21.4

What it does

The button is added to most inventory screens, including screens from vanilla and many modded ones. A player who wants to change how the button is placed or whether it appears can do so through the mod's Mod Menu configuration screen, which is built with YetAnotherConfigLib.

Only the client needs the mod, so players install it while servers run without it. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib are required, and Mod Menu is optional for the config screen. Builds cover 1.20 – 1.21.4 and are released under the MIT License as open source code.

Version 3.0 added a way for other mods to register the screens they want the button on, using the class path of each screen. Modpack authors and mod developers can use this to extend support, while a casual player does not need to handle it.

Key features

  1. Close button on inventory screens

    A close button appears on most inventory screens, letting players exit the menu with a click.

  2. Vanilla screen coverage

    Vanilla inventory screens receive the button by default, with no extra setup needed.

  3. Screen registration

    Screens from other mods can be added by class path, so the button can be placed on them as well.

  4. Position and visibility settings

    The button's position and whether it shows can be changed through the config screen.

Questions

Does Simple Close Button need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib are required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the config screen.

Does a server need Simple Close Button installed?

No. The mod is client-side only, so servers run without it and only the player's client needs it.

Can other mods' screens get the close button?

Yes. Version 3.0 lets other mods register their screens by class path, so the button can be added to them.

What the author says

Adds a close button to inventory screens. As of version 3.0, you can add and remove which screens have the button, as well as change it's position and it should work with all vanilla-based implementations of a recipe book, all through the Mod Menu config, made with YACL.
