Prism's KeyStrokes
by shubham96__
With Prism's KeyStrokes, a Fabric HUD overlay shows the keys and mouse buttons a player presses, in real time, on screen.
What it does
The overlay displays movement keys such as W, A, S and D, along with left and right mouse clicks, and highlights each key with a short animation while it is held. A CPS counter reports clicks per second, which suits PvP fights and recordings of gameplay. Position, layout and size of the display can be changed from the in-game settings, so the overlay can be moved anywhere on screen to match a preferred setup.
The mod is aimed at PvP players, content creators and anyone who wants to show their inputs to others. It is built to stay out of the way of the game and is a client-side only mod, so it runs alone and needs nothing on a server. Prism Mod Menu is a required dependency and must be installed alongside it. Files exist for Fabric only, for 12 release versions in the 1.21 – 1.21.11 span, with 1.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The mod is published under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Animated key presses
Each tracked key lights up with a smooth animation while it is pressed, making the input simple to follow.
Mouse click indicators
Left and right clicks are shown as separate indicators, so mouse activity is visible next to the movement keys.
CPS counter
A clicks-per-second counter tracks how fast the mouse buttons are clicked during a fight.
Adjustable HUD placement
The overlay can be moved to any spot on the screen and resized, with its layout set in the in-game menu.
