Binders! ⌨️
by Camawama
Binders! shows a configurable on-screen list of keybinds, so players can keep important key controls visible while they play.
What it does
Binders! is a client-side Forge mod for Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.1 only, published by Camawama. Its purpose is to highlight the keybinds a player needs most, making controls easier to recall than the default key options screen allows. Only the client needs it, so a player can add it to a single-player world or a multiplayer session without any change on the server.
The overlay lets each binder be shown always, or only in chosen contexts such as while flying, in Creative mode, in Survival or Adventure mode, while crouching or while sprinting. The display updates when a key is remapped, so the on-screen list stays accurate. Appearance can be adjusted to match a modpack, with control over colors, fonts and animations.
The Forge build for 1.20.1 is version 1.0.1, first published on 2025-12-29 and last updated the same day. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is publicly available.
Key features
Always-visible binders
A binder can be set to stay on screen at all times, so a key reminder is never hidden.
Context-based display
Binders can appear only while flying, in Creative or Survival and Adventure modes, or while crouching or sprinting.
Custom styling
Colors, fonts and animations of the on-screen list can be tuned to fit a modpack's look.
Live key updates
When a player remaps a key, the displayed binder changes to match, so the overlay does not show stale controls.

Use cases
Learning a modpack's controls
A player new to a modpack with many custom bindings can keep the important ones on screen while learning them.
Keeping tool keys in view
A builder or explorer can show only the keys used in Creative or while flying, so the list stays short.
Who it’s for: Players who want key reminders on screen while they play, and modpack authors who want the overlay styled to match their pack. Only the client needs the mod.
