Simple keys
by vegitojor
Simple keys is a NeoForge client mod that shows the keys a player presses in a small corner overlay on screen.
What it does
Simple keys displays the keys being pressed, such as W, A, S, D and the space bar, in a compact panel in a corner of the screen. The display updates as the player moves, which makes it useful for showing or recording input. It runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.11 and is published as a single build, 1.0.3 for 1.21.11, released on 2026-04-24 on the beta channel.
Only the client needs it, so players can add it to single-player or multiplayer without the server installing anything. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features

Movement key display
Pressed WASD and space bar inputs appear on screen as they are used, with no setup beyond installing the mod.
Simple, minimal look
