Bound Options
by dannytaylor
Bound Options is a Fabric and Quilt utility that puts toggles for sneaking, sprinting, subtitles, main hand, auto jump and chat visibility on keybindings.
What it does
Each option is bound to a key, so pressing it flips the setting or cycles through its states without opening the options menu. The toggles cover sneak, sprint, subtitles, the main hand and auto jump, and a key can cycle the chat visibility modes. Nothing is applied on a server, because the mod only changes how the local client reads input and displays text.
Bound Options needs Fabric API on Fabric, and Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) on Quilt. It is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it, and servers run without it. Files exist for 1.21.2 and 1.21.3, with 1.0.0+1.21.3 as the latest build for both loaders, released 2024-11-20. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Bound Options is a separate project from either company.
Key features
Toggle sneak
A keybinding holds or latches sneaking, so the player does not need to keep a key pressed.
Toggle sprint
A keybinding keeps sprinting active until it is pressed again.
Toggle subtitles and main hand
Keybindings switch subtitles on or off and swap the main hand without opening the options screen.
Toggle auto jump and cycle chat
Auto jump can be switched on or off by key, and another key steps the chat visibility through its modes.

How it compares
Keybind UI Bound is a Fabric-only client mod, open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.10 – 1.21.11, so it does not target the 1.21.2 and 1.21.3 builds that Bound Options covers. VoluBind is client-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with files for Fabric and Quilt across 1.19 – 1.21.1. Toggle Controls is Fabric-only for 1.21.5 and is not open source, under All rights reserved.
