Keyyyyyyyy
by Yedel
Keyyyyyyyy is a client-side mod that makes held keys repeat on the keyboard in older Minecraft versions.
What it does
Older versions of the game ignored held keys after the first press. This mod turns on keyboard repeat events, so a held key keeps sending input the way it does in a text field on a desktop. It targets LWJGL's keyboard class and is built for Fabric, Forge, Legacy Fabric and Ornithe, with releases covering 1.0 – 1.12.2 and the latest file, 3.0.1, dated 2026-08-27, published for 1.12.2. Only the client needs it, since the server side is untouched.
Key features
Keyboard repeat events
Held keys send repeated input, which older game versions did not provide on their own.
LWJGL keyboard hook
The change applies to LWJGL's keyboard class, so it affects keyboard handling without touching game logic.

What the author says
This mod does not have any specific minecraft versions attached, as it only targets LWJGL's keyboard class. Forge should work down to whatever version LaunchWrapper was implemented (1.6.2?), Fabric may work on all versions. This mod was tested with 1.8-1.12.2 in the past, so these versions should be considered stable.
