Frequently asked questions

How do I know IMBlocker is actually working?
Type something in chat and watch your input method indicator: it should switch to your IME when the chat opens and back to English/direct input when you close it. If the indicator never changes, the mod isn't detecting the chat state, so check your configuration.
Do I need to configure anything after installing IMBlocker?
Usually no—it works out of the box by detecting when a text field is focused. If your IME isn't switching correctly, you'll need to adjust the mod's settings to match your specific input method.
Why does my input method stay on when I close chat?
This usually means IMBlocker isn't detecting the chat screen closing, or your IME doesn't respond to the mod's toggle commands. Check that the mod is enabled and that your IME supports being controlled programmatically.
Does IMBlocker work with modded chat or other text input screens?
It generally works with any screen that uses Minecraft's standard text field, including many modded interfaces. If a specific mod's text box isn't detected, that screen may use a custom input handler the mod can't see.
