# Menu Pause
\n## formerly known as Inventory Pause
\n## Customisable mod to pause menus or slow time down!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This lightweight __client-side mod__ supports pausing or even just slowing down your __singleplayer__ game when you open menus like the
\n– Inventory
\n– Crafting Table, Chest, Furnace, …
\n– Hopper, Brewing Stand, Enchanting Table, …
\n– Gamemode Switcher, Death Screen, …
\n– Villager, Horse Inventory, …<\/p>\n
and supports modded screens (if configured correctly)!<\/p>\n
_If a modded screen behaves weirdly when paused try adding it to the list of “Compat mod class names” to make it slow down instead of pausing it._
\nScreens can be configured individually inside the config menu (accessible via the Forge mod list).<\/p>\n
This mod is __client-side only__ and won’t be active in LAN worlds or on servers.<\/p>\n
Supported versions:
\n– 1.19.4: 2.0.0
\n– 1.20-1.20.1: 3.0.0
\n– 1.20.3-1.20.4: 4.0.0
\n– 1.20.5-1.20.6: 5.0.0<\/p>\n

## Tutorial: How to add custom screens<\/p>\n 1. Check whether you have assigned the keybind for “Add to Custom Screens”. If you experience any problems with modded screens (e.g. modded UI elements not working) try adding the screen to the list of “Compat mod class names”. To add custom screens to the config you need the internal name of the screen to add. If you don’t know it you can try this: Now the screen should be paused. If it works disable “Enable Debug Mode” again.<\/p>\n If you experience any problems (e.g. modded UI elements not working) try adding the screen to the list of “Compat mod class names”. Note: This mod will not be able to work on all types of screens due to technical limitations<\/p>\n ## In-Game Config<\/p>\n ### Main Config ### Mod Compat Options – Custom mod class names: List of custom screens which get paused ### Main Config ### Mod Compat Options – Custom mod class names: List of custom screens which get paused <\/p>\n __General__: __Abilities__: __Mod Compat__: Pause your singleplayer game when you open your inventory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":85783,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"inventory-pause-forge","_minecraft_project_id":"F39sgYmY","_minecraft_author":"macbrayne","_minecraft_license":"EUPL-1.2","_minecraft_downloads":16057,"_minecraft_follows":42,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"inventory-pause-forge.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":3795778,"_minecraft_version_count":40,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T20:16:04.863455Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2021-06-16T07:01:07.550090Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-04-07T22:34:27.449778Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/inventory-pause-forge","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":85783,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-04T21:32:14+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"85663afec62e7fef6eaff670a042519d","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[87,97,104,89,158,92],"mod_loader":[106,160],"minecraft_version":[48,50,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,36,60,93,94,102,37],"class_list":["post-85782","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-adventure","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-forge","mod_category-game-mechanics","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-forge","mod_loader-neoforge","minecraft_version-1-16-5","minecraft_version-1-17-1","minecraft_version-1-18-1","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-3","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21-1"],"yoast_head":"\n1.2+ (click to expand)<\/summary>\n

\n3. Navigate to the menu you want to add and depending on your mod version:
\n * (0.8.2, 0.9, 1.0 or 1.1): note down the topmost text (e.g. `appeng.client.gui.implementations.IOPortScreen`). Alternatively copy it from the Minecraft log. That is the internal name of the screen.
\n * (0.8.3, 0.9.1, 1.0.1, 1.1.1 or later): press the “Copy Class” key you assigned earlier. You should get a confirmation in chat when you do so.
