Quick answer
Which Better Screens release should I use?
Better Screens 2.0.14 targets 26.2 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. All 4 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Better Screens required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does Better Screens 2.0.14 need?
2.0.14. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), Mod Menu, Fabric API, Text Placeholder API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Better Screens add?
Better Screens
Better screens is a simple mod that improves the screens & containers experience, with simple quality of life fixes!
Features
Prevent Closing Screens: Prevents the server from forcefully closing your screens. For example, your chat screen when a Hypixel SkyWars game starts. Originally created by Moulberry for MoulberrysTweaks.
Don't Reset Cursor: Keeps your cursor in the same spot when opening a new screen immediately after the last. For example, backpack slots in Hypixel SkyBlock. Originally created by nea89o for Firmament.
Click Out of Containers: Allows clicking outside the bounds of a container to close it.
Container Background Opacity: Sets the transparency of container backgrounds.
Container Texture Opacity: Sets the transparency of container textures.
Container Label Color: Set the color of the container name text. Useful for some resourcepacks that provide poor contrast.
Player Inventory Label Color: Set the color of the player inventory text when inside a container. Useful for some resourcepacks that provide poor contrast.
Container GUI Scale: Allows setting a different GUI scale for containers, such as your inventory or chests. This feature has several issues and is not finished! Some screens may be slightly broken, and other mods may have issues pop up!
Remove Recipe Book Shift: Prevents the recipe book from shifting the inventory when opening/closing. This makes no attempt to fit the recipe book in your screen if your GUI scale is too large.
