What it does

The mod is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 that makes a server able to disable chosen keybinding actions on connected players. Roleplay servers can use it to restrict UI and chat during a scene, and minigame builders can switch off controls for a set time. Controls return to normal once the server releases them.

Installation needs Fabric API. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. KeybindingLocker is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with public links to its source code and issue tracker. Files target 1.20.1 and 1.20.4, and the latest build is 1.0.0+1.20.4, published 2025-05-30.

Key features

  1. Remote keybinding locks

    Server-side commands lock selected keybinding actions on a player's client without the player changing any settings.

  2. Cutscene input control

    Player input can be held still during scripted cutscenes so the narrative plays without interruption.

  3. Real-time sync

    Lock and release changes are pushed to clients as they happen, so a restriction takes effect immediately.

  4. Simple configuration

    Locks and their scope are set through a short configuration, with no separate panel needed to start using them.
