Better Mods Button Mod 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. Your mods button, your way; where you want it, and how you want it!
