Preserve Cursor Location Between Menus

When you quickly switch between backpacks, chests, or crafting tables, Better Screens Mod remembers exactly where your mouse cursor was. This prevents the annoying jump or reset that normally happens.

What This Means

  • Close one chest and open another—your cursor stays in the same spot
  • Switch between multiple containers without losing your place
  • Faster item management when juggling several inventories
  • Reduces accidental clicks on wrong slots

How It Works

The mod tracks your mouse position and restores it when you open a new menu. This happens automatically—no configuration needed.

Practical Uses

  • Organizing items across multiple chests in your base
  • Quickly moving items between backpack mods and your inventory
  • Crafting while referencing multiple storage containers
  • Reducing hand strain from repeated mouse repositioning

This feature is especially helpful during building or resource gathering sessions where you're constantly accessing different storage blocks.
