Bind Presets

by Ascvnd

Bind Presets lets players save a set of keybinds as a named preset and switch between them from within the game.

FabricClient-side onlyCustom license1.21.11

What it does

Bind Presets stores groups of key assignments so a player can keep several control layouts and change to another one without rebinding each key by hand. Presets are saved to a file called bindpresets.json in the game's config folder, so they survive restarts. The mod runs on the client alone, so only the player who installs it needs it, and a server does not have to run it.

The mod is built for Fabric and targets Minecraft 1.21.11 only, with files published for that version. Its custom license does not make the project open source, and the source code is public for anyone who wants to read it. Snapshot builds are not part of the release.

Key features

  1. Keybind presets

    Save the current keybind layout as a preset and recall it later from the same settings screen.

  2. Persistent storage

    Saved layouts are kept in bindpresets.json inside the game's config folder, so they still exist after the game is closed.

  3. Switching layouts

    Move between saved presets to change the whole control scheme at once, for example for building or combat.

Use cases

Switching between play styles

A player who builds in creative mode and fights in survival can keep a separate control layout for each and switch between them.

Sharing a layout

The saved file can be copied to another installation, so a set of bindings can move from one game folder to another.

Who it’s for: Players on the Fabric loader who use many custom keybinds and want to switch between layouts instead of editing them each time. Only the client needs the mod, so it suits single-player and multiplayer players alike.
