Key Flare

by aman037

Key Flare shows the Minecraft controls screen as a color-coded visual keyboard that marks keys with conflicts.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.11 – 26.2

What it does

The mod adds a new controls screen that draws the keyboard as a visual layout. Keys are color-coded so players can see at a glance which bindings clash. Hovering over a key on the layout opens a native tooltip naming the single action bound to it, which helps when checking an unfamiliar key map. Key Flare runs on the client alone, so no server install is needed. Files are published for Fabric, for the game versions 1.21.11 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Visual keyboard layout

    Controls are shown on a drawn keyboard, so each key's binding can be read in place.

  2. Conflict highlighting

    Keys with overlapping bindings are color-coded to show where conflicts sit.

  3. Hover tooltips

    Hovering a key on the layout displays a native tooltip with the single action bound to it.
