This small client-side mod supports pausing when opening the inventory, when dying, opening furnaces, crafting tables, shulker boxes and even has basic support for other mods. In case of incompatibilities try adding the modded screen to the list of "Compat mod class names".

All features can be disabled individually inside the config menu (accessible via the Forge mod list).

This mod is client-side only and won't be active in LAN worlds or on servers.

Tutorial: How to add custom screens

1.2+ (click to expand)

1. Check whether you have assigned the keybind for "Add to Custom Screens".
2. Navigate to the menu you want to add and press the "Add to Custom Screens" key you assigned earlier. You should get a confirmation in chat when you do so.
3. Verify it worked by checking if the screen is now paused.

If you experience any problems with modded screens (e.g. modded UI elements not working) try adding the screen to the list of "Compat mod class names".

0.1 - 1.1.2 (click to expand)

To add custom screens to the config you need the internal name of the screen to add. If you don't know it you can try this:

1. Check the Minecraft Controls settings if you have assigned the keybinds for "Copy Class Name" and "Open Settings" (only available on versions released after October 2022)
2. Open the settings and change "Enable Debug Mode" to true. This should make an overlay appear on the top left of the screen whenever you have a screen open.
3. Navigate to the menu you want to add and depending on your mod version:

• (0.8.2, 0.9, 1.0 or 1.1): note down the topmost text (e.g. appeng.client.gui.implementations.IOPortScreen). Alternatively copy it from the Minecraft log. That is the internal name of the screen.
• (0.8.3, 0.9.1, 1.0.1, 1.1.1 or later): press the "Copy Class" key you assigned earlier. You should get a confirmation in chat when you do so.

4. Add an entry to "Custom Mod class names" and paste the internal name.

Now the screen should be paused. If it works disable "Enable Debug Mode" again.

If you experience any problems (e.g. modded UI elements not working) try adding the screen to the list of "Compat mod class names".

Note: This mod will not be able to work on all types of screens due to technical limitations
