NetKeys

by tt432

NetKeys lets players bind custom hotkeys to commands, with keys such as CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK available as triggers.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

Each hotkey is set up in the server's configuration files, where a netkeys-server.toml file lists the key and the command it runs. A single key press can execute a command on behalf of the server, so administrators should choose commands carefully. Players see the commands that have been bound to keys when they enter the game.

The mod runs on the client and the server, so both the server and every player need it. It is released for Forge only, for 1.20.1, under the MIT License, and the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Custom hotkeys

    Keys can be bound to commands, so a single press runs a chosen action without typing it in chat.

  2. Lock key triggers

    CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK are supported as trigger keys alongside the standard keyboard layout.

  3. Server configuration

    Bindings are defined in netkeys-server.toml, which the server reads from its configuration folder.
