If you play Minecraft on a Mac, you already know the frustration — scroll directions that make no sense, phantom right-clicks when you're just trying to sneak, and shift-scroll combos that flat-out refuse to work. McMouser Mod tackles these long-standing macOS mouse bugs head-on, letting you finally play with the same input behavior that Windows and Linux users take for granted. It's a small, focused fix by developer ViRb3 that addresses issues Mojang has left unresolved for years.
Key Features
- Shift + Scroll Fix — Corrects the broken Shift + Scroll behavior on versions prior to 1.20.2 (related to MC-121772) and fixes the reversed scroll direction introduced in 1.20.2 and later.
- Ctrl + Click Emulation Disabled — Stops macOS from interpreting Ctrl + Left Click as a Right Click, which frequently causes misclicks during gameplay like accidentally placing blocks or opening containers.
- Universal Mac Support — Works on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3 arm64) and Intel (x64/amd64) Macs, so no matter which hardware you're running, the fixes apply.
