Keybind Sync
by trydynt
Keybind Sync lets a player carry key bindings and their settings from one modpack to the next, so a new pack starts with the controls already set.
What it does
Keybind Sync is a Fabric client mod that stores named keybind profiles and applies them when a pack launches or is switched. Only the bindings that changed are written, so a profile touches nothing the player did not set. Changes wait until the loading screen has finished and the server list is ready, so nothing lands mid-load, and the mod never shares settings that belong to the game itself.
Profiles can be kept per pack, so a modpack keeps its own setup while other packs stay untouched. Saves are locked, which prevents two running games from writing the same file in the same instant and dropping one of the changes. Settings that were converted between game versions are handled by the game's own code and are skipped, and hotbars follow the same upgrade path that Minecraft uses for items. The mod is client-side only and runs on Fabric for 1.19 – 26.2 across 28 release versions, released under the MIT License.
Key features
Profiles per modpack
Each pack can keep its own named profile, and a profile never overwrites the defaults of packs that do not use it.
Changed bindings only
Sync writes only the bindings that differ from the profile, so unchanged controls and other mods' entries stay as they are.
Safe loading
Applying a profile waits for the game to finish loading and for the server list to be ready, so it never interrupts startup.
Optional sync
Auto edit can be switched off, in which case nothing is applied until the player presses Load on a profile.

Use cases
Installing a new modpack
A player who installs a new pack gets the saved bindings back, with default controls for anything the profile does not list.
Switching playstyles
Players can keep a PvP profile and a building profile and load whichever suits the session.
Who it’s for: Players who move between several modpacks and want their key bindings to follow them. The mod is client-side only, so server owners do not need to install it.

What the author says
You already set Minecraft up the way you like it. Then you install a new modpack, and it is all gone — every binding back to default, brightness back to 50%, subtitles off, your server list empty. Open Options → Controls → Key Binds, press Profiles, type a name and press Save new.
