Right-click drag, improved
RMB Tweak extends normal item placement so revisiting a slot while dragging can place additional items there instead of ignoring it.

What is Mouse Tweaks?
A small mod focused on everyday inventory actions.
Mouse Tweaks changes how clicks, drags and the scroll wheel behave inside supported Minecraft inventory interfaces. Instead of repeatedly clicking individual slots, players can distribute, collect or transfer stacks using more fluid mouse gestures.
It is intended for Minecraft: Java Edition and works on the client. The correct mod file must match your Minecraft version and loader.

Features
Inventory control that feels more direct.
The feature set is compact, but each tweak targets repetitive inventory movement and reduces the number of individual clicks needed during crafting, storage and sorting.
LMB with item
Drag across matching stacks to pick up or move the same item type more efficiently.
LMB without item
Use modifier-based dragging to quickly shift-click multiple stacks between inventories.
Mouse-wheel transfer
Scroll over a stack to push or pull items between inventories. Direction and search order can be configured to match your preferred workflow.
How it works
Four steps from install to faster sorting.
Mouse Tweaks hooks into compatible inventory screens and translates familiar mouse gestures into repeated item-management actions.
1
Match your setup
Confirm the exact Minecraft version and loader before choosing a mod build.
2
Install the JAR
Place the matching mod file in the .minecraft/mods folder.
3
Use mouse gestures
Drag with LMB/RMB or scroll over stacks inside compatible inventory screens.
4
Adjust behavior
Fine-tune wheel direction and other available settings for your workflow.
Use cases
Useful when inventories get busy.
These patterns are especially practical for players who craft, sort storage or move large numbers of stacks often.
Fill grids quickly
RMB dragging helps distribute ingredients across multiple crafting slots with fewer repeated clicks.
Move stacks in batches
Shift-drag behavior can reduce repetitive work when transferring many stacks into chests or other inventories.
Use the wheel naturally
Scroll-based movement helps push or pull items without repeatedly grabbing and placing the same stack.
Compatibility
Designed for Minecraft: Java Edition.
Mouse Tweaks is distributed for Java Edition and current project listings include Forge, Fabric and NeoForge variants. Bedrock Edition and MCPE use a different add-on architecture and cannot run the Java mod directly.
For heavily customized modded inventory screens, compatibility depends on how closely the interface follows Minecraft’s standard container-screen behavior.

The primary download below uses the exact GitHub master ZIP URL supplied for this project.
Download Mouse Tweaks modImportant: this URL downloads the GitHub source-code ZIP, not a prebuilt mod JAR. For gameplay, install a release JAR that matches your exact Minecraft version and loader.
Installation / setup
Install the correct build, not just any file.
A loader or version mismatch is the most common reason a Minecraft mod fails to start.
Choose loader + game version
Match Forge, Fabric or NeoForge with the exact Minecraft release you are launching.
Place the mod JAR
Copy the matching Mouse Tweaks JAR into the .minecraft/mods folder.
Launch and verify
Start the loader profile, open an inventory and test drag and wheel behavior.
⚠ Safety notice
Use files from trusted project distribution sources and verify that the filename, Minecraft version and loader all match your setup. A source-code archive is not interchangeable with a compiled mod JAR. Back up important worlds before changing a large mod setup.
Pros and cons
Simple utility, specific purpose.
Mouse Tweaks is most valuable when you want faster inventory interactions without adding a large gameplay system.
Pros
- Reduces repetitive inventory clicking.
- Client-side design keeps setup focused.
- Supports multiple major Java mod loaders.
- Configurable wheel behavior.
Cons
- Requires a matching build for your exact game and loader.
- Not a native Bedrock / MCPE add-on.
- Some heavily modified inventory screens may behave differently.
- Users can confuse source ZIPs with playable JAR releases.
Release information
Version labels that users commonly search.
These notes help map popular search phrases to the correct compatibility decision rather than implying one universal file works everywhere.
Troubleshooting
Check compatibility before changing settings.
If the mod is missing or behaves unexpectedly, start with the loader, game version and conflicting GUI mods.
Mod does not appear
Verify the JAR is inside the correct mods folder and Minecraft launched with the same loader profile.
Wheel feels reversed
Review the wheel-direction setting and select the push/pull orientation that matches your preference.
One GUI ignores tweaks
Test the same action in a vanilla-style inventory. A custom interface may alter the container behavior Mouse Tweaks expects.

FAQ
Mouse Tweaks mod questions, answered.
Exactly twenty focused answers, split between features and setup/compatibility.
It improves inventory interaction by extending right-click dragging, adding left-click drag behaviors and allowing items to be moved with the mouse wheel in supported inventory screens.
Yes. Mouse Tweaks is designed as a client-side utility, so a server-side component is not required for its normal inventory-control features.
Current project listings include Forge, Fabric and NeoForge support, while much older Minecraft releases used older loader options. Always match the mod file to your Minecraft version and loader.
The right-mouse-button tweak extends normal dragging so passing over a slot repeatedly can place an item there repeatedly while the feature is enabled.
With an item held, left-button dragging can help pick up or move matching items more quickly across inventory slots.
When used with the appropriate modifier, dragging across slots can quickly shift-click items into another inventory instead of clicking each stack one by one.
The wheel tweak moves items between inventories through scrolling. Direction and search behavior can be adjusted in Mouse Tweaks configuration.
Yes. Mouse Tweaks includes a wheel scroll direction setting so users can choose the behavior that feels natural for their inventory layout.
Compatibility is strongest with inventory screens built on Minecraft’s standard container-screen systems. Heavily customized interfaces may require extra compatibility work from the other mod.
The project documentation allows inclusion in modpacks, but pack authors should still follow the project license and distribute the correct loader/version file.
Install a compatible mod loader for your Minecraft: Java Edition version, obtain the matching Mouse Tweaks JAR, then place that JAR in the .minecraft/mods folder and start the game with the matching loader profile.
The official Mouse Tweaks project targets Minecraft: Java Edition. Bedrock and MCPE use a different add-on system, so the Java mod cannot simply be placed into a Bedrock installation.
Project listings include Mouse Tweaks releases for Minecraft 1.21.11. Choose the file that matches both 1.21.11 and your selected loader.
Mouse Tweaks has releases across the Minecraft 1.21 generation. Use the exact build listed for your Minecraft patch version rather than assuming one JAR works for every 1.21.x release.
Current project listings include 26.1.2 builds for supported loaders. Match the loader label as well as the game version before installing.
The most common causes are a loader mismatch, wrong Minecraft version, incorrectly placed JAR or launching the game without the mod-loader profile.
Your wheel direction preference may differ from the default. Check the Mouse Tweaks wheel-direction setting and select the option that matches your desired push/pull behavior.
Yes. A mod that significantly rewrites inventory screens or mouse handling can overlap with Mouse Tweaks. Test with a minimal mod set to identify the conflict.
The exact configuration location can vary by version and loader, but Mouse Tweaks uses a configuration file in the Minecraft configuration area and newer setups may expose a configuration screen through the loader UI.
No. The main download button on this site uses the provided GitHub master ZIP link, which is a source-code archive. Users who want a ready-to-run JAR should obtain a release that matches their Minecraft version and loader from an official project distribution page.
