Minecraft Extra Keybinds
Extra Keybinds adds hotkeys for common Minecraft settings, so players can change sound, zoom, distance and field of view without opening the options menu.
What it does
Hotkeys cover sound toggles for hostile mobs, friendly mobs and jukebox music, plus gamma and brightness from 0% to 1200% with a fullbright option. Render distance can be set from 2 to 32 chunks and simulation distance from 5 to 32 chunks. Field of view moves between 30 and 110 in steps of 5. A hold-to-zoom key gives closer views for finding things at range.
Changes are saved automatically and restored after a game restart. A two-second delay stops rapid presses from flooding the settings, and on-screen feedback shows current values, countdown timers and pending changes. The mod is distributed for Fabric and needs Fabric API. It runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it and players join without installing it. Files target 1.21.6 – 1.21.8 under the MIT License, but the code is not open source.
