CursorCentered Fix

This mod fixes the cursor centering issue that occasionally happens when opening a GUI, e.g. open a container GUI but the cursor doesn't appear from the center which could be dangerous when you need to pull something from a chest or inventory rapidly.

Vanilla has shipped to SDL backend after 26. 3 which completely resolved the cursor centering issues, so this mod will not be update to versions above 26. 2.

# For Wayland Users This mod supports centering the cursor on wayland using (https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool) or (https://github.com/cushycush/wdotool), to enable this feature, you need to configure them properly, here are the basic setup steps: ## ydotool ### 1. Install ydotool from source The latest version of ydotool provides seamless centering experience, however it can only be built and installed from source at the moment. This tool is only effective with XWayland.

To build an install it, just execute these commands in terminal under any directory: ``` //install command may vary on different platforms sudo apt install git cmake scdoc

git clone https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool.git cd ydotool mkdir build cd build cmake .. make -j "$(nproc)" sudo make install ``` Running `ydotoold -V` to verify your installation. ### 2. Add your user to sudo exceptions The only way to successfully center the cursor using ydotool in Minecraft is running ydotool command with `sudo` privilege. Thus you need to make your user be able to run ydotool command with sudo without password: edit /etc/sudoers, add two lines: ``` ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: //default path: /usr/local/bin/ydotoold ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: //default path: /usr/local/bin/ydotool ``` ## wdotool wdotool is another great option of the feature which was released recently and is being actively developed. It is much easier to configure and you can directly head to their github page for a detailed configuration guide. (Note that you need to run `sudo install -m 755 target/release/wdotool /usr/local/bin/wdotool` additionally if building from source)

Once configured, you can use this tool as the backend of the mod by specifying the JVM argument `-DuseWdotool=`, where `` is based on your (https://github.com/cushycush/wdotool#backends). ## Specify a move scaling value (Optional) There is an internal problem of moving cursor on wayland programmatically - the actual moved position may be affected by some system values depending on your desktop environment. In other words, the default centering position is guaranteed correct only with default mouse sensitivity and mouse acceleration disabled (also requires default UI scale in some desktop environments). Fortunately, the requested position and actual position seem to always satisfy a liner function relationship, so we can use a `double` factor to correct it.

To determine this value, run the game with this mod and open any container GUI, the mod will center the cursor using default scaling value (1. 0), then keep your cursor at that position and take out your ruler, put it on your monitor to measure its absolute position, record `x` or `y` as `x1` or `y1`. Next, keep the position of your game window and determine the actual central point, also measure its absolute position with your ruler, record `x` or `y` as `x2` or `y2`, then the scaling value should be `x2 / x1` or `y2 / y1`. Note that the game window is better to be small (1/2 screen width/height is ok) and close to top-left to ensure the cursor will not go outside the screen, or its position is not reliable (be constrained to screen border). This step can also be done by taking screenshots and measuring the position using a painting software that displays pixel coordinates, which is more accurate. You can round the value if necessary.

After determining the scaling value, you can restart the game with a JVM argument `-DcursorMoveScalingValue=` to apply it, this value should be always correct util you change the system mouse sensitivity/acceleration or UI scaling value. ## Known Issue A real Wayland (not XWayland) window cannot get its absolute position on screen, therefore the calculated central point is only correct if the position of the game window is (0,0).
