Project overview

  📖 About: Better Mods Button adds the mods button back to the pause screen as in Forge versions prior to Minecraft 1.13, so it can be used to easily access in-game mod configuration (when available). As a bonus, there are plenty of options for where and how exactly you want your mods button to be shown on screen (heavily inspired by Mod Menu ). Showing a total mod count, as well as toggling the update notification glyph are both supported. 📷 Media:    Default mods button on title screen    One of the alternative mods button placements    Default mods button on pause menu    An alternative placement for the pause screen    Another alternative pause screen button placement    💡 FAQ: Q: How do I configure this mod? A: Install my Config Menus for Forge mod and do it directly in-game! Q: What about a Fabric port? A: Use Mod Menu by ProspectorDev instead. 🏆 Credits: Developing Better Mods Button was helped and inspired by: ProspectorDev for inspiring most of the configuration options for this mod from their Mod Menu mod                             

FreeMinecraftMods decision guide

This mod is most relevant to players looking for Utility & QoL on NeoForge, Forge. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.

The source record was updated on Apr 14, 2026. Check the changelog and file page to see whether that update applies to the version and loader you plan to use.

What to verify before choosing a file

  • Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
  • Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
  • Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
  • Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
  • Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
