What Mouse Tweaks does

Mouse Tweaks changes how the mouse interacts with inventory screens. It does not add items or blocks. Instead, it makes existing actions faster and less repetitive.

Without Mouse Tweaks, moving a stack of items requires clicking and dragging each stack individually. With it, you can drag across slots to move one item at a time, shift-click entire rows, and use the scroll wheel to push items between your inventory and a chest.

Core features

  • Drag crafting — hold left click and drag across a crafting grid to place one item in each slot. Release to complete the recipe.
  • Quick stack movement — scroll over a slot to move items between your inventory and an open container. Direction depends on scroll direction.
  • Shift-drag — drag with shift held to move entire stacks across multiple slots.
  • Right-click drag — place one item per slot across a row.

Installation

  1. Install Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge for your Minecraft version. See the mod installation guide if you have not done this before.
  2. Download the Mouse Tweaks JAR from CurseForge for your exact loader and Minecraft version [citation:1].
  3. Place the JAR in your mods folder.
  4. Launch the game. Mouse Tweaks is client-side — you do not need it on a server for it to work.
Version note: Mouse Tweaks supports Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge. The download page on CurseForge lists separate files for each loader. Pick the one that matches your setup. Using a Forge build on Fabric will crash the game.

Compatibility

Mouse Tweaks is designed to work alongside other inventory mods. It does not replace the inventory screen — it adds behavior on top of it. Mods that completely redesign the inventory (like some large UI overhauls) may conflict. Check the mod page for known incompatibilities before installing alongside a major UI mod.

Frequently asked questions

Does Mouse Tweaks work on servers?
Yes. It is client-side, so it works on any server that allows client-side mods. The server does not need to have it installed. Some servers with strict anti-cheat may flag unusual inventory behavior, but Mouse Tweaks is widely used and not considered a cheat mod.
Will Mouse Tweaks work on Bedrock Edition?
No. Mouse Tweaks is a Java Edition mod only. Bedrock does not support Java mods.
Can I use Mouse Tweaks with Sodium and Iris?
Yes. Mouse Tweaks is a utility mod and does not interact with rendering. It works alongside performance and shader mods without conflict.
Why did my game crash after installing Mouse Tweaks?
The most common cause is downloading the wrong loader build. Check that you downloaded the Forge JAR for Forge, or the Fabric JAR for Fabric. See the crash log guide for how to identify the exact error.
