Better inputreg
by Djakow
Better inputreg is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that changes how keyboard input is processed in certain gameplay situations.
What it does
The mod sets up a low latency input buffer that handles keyboard presses during gameplay, so that actions such as movement and combat react with less delay. The author describes the goal as an experiment with alternative input processing, with the aim of a crisper feel when moving and fighting other players.
Better inputreg runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it and players on a server are not required to install it. It is built for Fabric only and targets Minecraft 1.21.11 and later. The mod is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved, and its only published file is version 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, dated 2026-05-19 in the alpha channel. The configuration screen and settings menu are not yet available, so the behavior cannot be adjusted in game for now.
Key features
Low latency input buffer
Keyboard presses are queued in a dedicated buffer so gameplay actions are read with less delay.
Input handling in set situations
The processing change applies to particular gameplay situations rather than to every key press.
Responsive movement and PvP
The modified input order is aimed at a crisper response during movement and player-versus-player fights.
Experimental status
The project is an experiment in automating gameplay and reworking Minecraft input mechanics, so behavior may change between builds.
