eXc Keystrokes
by eXcPassi
eXc Keystrokes shows a small on-screen overlay of the movement keys, space and mouse buttons as the player presses them.
What it does
The overlay lights up WASD, space and the mouse buttons while they are held, so a viewer can follow the player's inputs on a recording or stream. A built-in CPS counter sits alongside the keys and shows the clicks per second. The overlay uses a turquoise and purple gradient style, and it is a client-side only mod, so a player installs it alone and servers do not need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge, for game version 26.2, with 1.1.0 as the latest build dated 2026-07-12.
