AFix
A mod to fix the bug which causes your chat input to be deleted when typing "a"
About this Mod
What does this mod do?
This mod attempts to fix MC-127862, a bug where pressing Right Alt locks your Control key, which makes pressing "a" on your keyboard delete everything you've typed in the text input and backspace deleting the entire word
How does it work?
I've experimented a bit and came up with a solution which (hopefully) works. We detect the delay between the right Alt and Ctrl being pressed, and if it happens simultaneously we forcefully release Ctrl to prevent the unwanted behaviour from occuring.
Will this mod be available for Forge?
Probably in the future.

AFix server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is AFix compatible with fabric and quilt?
AFix officially supports fabric, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.4. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with AFix – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if AFix consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
