Simple Keybinds
by Dillon8775
Simple Keybinds adds a set of default keyboard shortcuts for the client, bound to keys such as O, V, X, B, Alt+V and Ctrl+M.
What it does
Each shortcut is preset to a key combination and can be changed from the controls menu. The mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need to install it, and players who join a server without it lose nothing. Keybinds for the mod's features are added on top of the vanilla controls, so existing bindings keep working.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds across 35 release versions 1.16.5 – 26.3 and snapshot builds available. Installation needs Balm and DillonLib on every loader, and Fabric API on Fabric. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved, although the source is publicly available.
Key features
Default shortcut keys
Several actions are preset to single keys, such as O, V, X and B, so they work without setup.
Modifier combinations
Some actions use Alt with V or Ctrl with M, which keeps them separate from single-key bindings.
Rebindable controls
Every preset can be moved to another key in the controls screen, so players can resolve clashes with other mods.
Version-specific additions
Some keybinds were added in later mod releases, and the changelog notes which ones apply to each build.
