OFF KEYS
by zHolyWhite
With OFF KEYS, server administrators can switch individual player keys off, or block them, on a Forge server for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6.
What it does
OFF KEYS lets an administrator enable or disable specific keys for each player. Keys can be managed one at a time or through predefined groups, covering movement, combat, inventory, number keys, function keys, arrow keys and the mouse. Commands can target a single player or everyone on the server, so the restriction applies across a multiplayer world without editing each client.
The mod is built for Forge and works in multiplayer. Because the restrictions are set through commands, the server can change them while the game runs. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files exist for 1.20.1, 1.20.2, 1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5 and 1.20.6; the latest Forge file, 1.0.1, targets 1.20.1 and was published on 2025-10-01. The mod is released under the BSD 2-Clause License and is not open source. A documentation page lists all the commands.
Key features
Per-key control
Each key can be enabled or disabled on its own, so an administrator can block a single control without affecting the others.
Predefined key groups
Keys are sorted into groups for movement, combat, inventory, number keys, function keys and arrows, so whole categories can be switched at once.
Targeted commands
Commands can apply to one named player or to every player on the server.
Multiplayer support
Restrictions work on multiplayer servers, so the server decides which keys are available to each player.
Command documentation
A documentation page lists every command the mod provides, with its syntax and options.
