Universal Input Sync
by Kiuox
Universal Input Sync is a Fabric client mod that changes how the game processes clicks and key presses so that inputs are not dropped during fast play.
What it does
The mod targets input desync, where a click registers in the client but the game treats it as a ghost interaction. It applies its fix on the client side, so it reads and handles inputs natively and does not send extra packets. Players who click quickly in combat or building see fewer dead clicks, and the change is meant for high-APM play rather than automation.
Installation needs Fabric API, and the mod is published for Fabric only, with one build for 1.21.4. Only the client needs it: a vanilla server runs without any server-side installation, and players join without changing anything on the server. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain, and the issue tracker is open for reports.
Key features
Input desync fix
Corrects input races on the client so that a click is applied once, instead of appearing to land and then failing.
Fewer dead clicks
Reduces clicks that are lost during rapid sequences of attacks, placements and item use.
Global item handling
Applies its input handling to every item and interaction in the game, without per-item configuration.
No server changes
Works on vanilla servers, since all of its logic runs on the client alone.
