🛑 No ESC In GUI Prevents GUI closures caused by the ESC key.
This mod disables the ESC key in most in-game screens like inventory, chests, crafting tables, furnaces, anvils, and custom GUIs. The pause menu remains unaffected — ESC still works there as expected.
🔧 Configurable via Mod Menu
⦁ Toggle ESC blocking on or off anytime
⦁ Changes apply instantly without restarting
Perfect for players who want to learn to close GUIs with their inventory hotkey.
