TieFix
by j-tai
TieFix works on the client only and corrects a handful of known Minecraft bugs, among them a scoreboard drawn over the F3 debug screen and a nether portal that blocks GUIs from opening.
What it does
Each fix targets one bug recorded in the game's bug tracker under an MC number. The nether portal fix allows a GUI to open while a player stands in a portal, and pausing the game inside a portal no longer stops the screen from responding. The scoreboard is hidden while the F3 debug screen is shown, so the two no longer overlap.
The remaining fixes cover the experience bar, which can disappear when a large number of levels is added at once, and item stacks being dragged over other compatible stacks, which are now displayed correctly. The mod runs in single-player and on a multiplayer client, and a server does not need it. Builds target 1.18 – 1.20.1 for Fabric, with 1.14.0 for 1.20.1 as the newest file from 2023-06-09.
The project is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Players who want a single fix can switch the others off in the options menu, since every fix has its own toggle.

How it compares
Portal GUI Fix covers the same nether portal problem and is distributed under the MIT License, but it also runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.16.5 – 1.21.1. Ugly Scoreboard Fix addresses only the scoreboard and is open source under the Apache License 2.0 for 1.19.2 – 1.20.2. MC-122477 Fix is also open source, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, but it is published for 1.21.11 – 26.2, which does not overlap with TieFix.
