TouchBarMod for Minecraft 1.7.10 - v1.1
TouchBarMod v1.1 adds a new floating FPS Display to your MacBook Touch Bar while Minecraft is running!
Now, in addition to your server ping on the control strip, you’ll also see your current Minecraft framerate in a dedicated Touch Bar overlay — fully toggleable in-game.
What's New in v1.1
Floating FPS Display
- Adds a live
FPS: NNNcounter to a floating Touch Bar tied to the Minecraft window - Updates every second using Minecraft’s internal
debugFPSfield - Runs in parallel with the existing ping display in the macOS control strip
Touch Bar Toggle
- New gear button (⚙) added to the Touch Bar to toggle FPS display on/off without restarting the game
- Keeps UI clean when FPS display is not needed
Behind the Scenes

- Auto-recovers on focus loss or window change
- FPS updater runs in its own thread with UI-safe updates
