System double-click speed preference is not respected

Currently, Minecraft considers a click that occurred within 250 milliseconds of the previous click to be a double click. This value does not match the default system behavior on macOS, which allows for much more leniency in timing, however. Furthermore, users can increase the leniency even further under the ‘Double-click speed’ preference, which appears to be accessible from NSEvent.doubleClickInterval.

Double-clicks can be observed when selecting text to select a word and when clicking a world in the list to enter it, among other places.

I believe that this behavior is a valid issue, as it prevents an accessibility option built into operating systems from being used. People with motor disabilities or weakness benefit from being able to control double-click speed to be within their ability, and I have personally experienced times where the hardcoded double-click speed was not sufficient for me. The ‘Sprint Window’ option represents a recent addition to address a similar need with sprinting.

Expected behavior

  • Double-click interval in Minecraft is >250ms on macOS, matching the default value

  • Double-click interval in Minecraft matches the user’s configured value

Actual behavior

  • Double-click interval in Minecraft is always 250 milliseconds
