Terder Keystrokes
by Terdernah
Terder Keystrokes puts a clean, customizable overlay on screen that shows the player's WASD and mouse keys, spacebar and a click-per-second counter, built for Minecraft 1.8.9 on Forge.
What it does
The HUD draws WASD keys, LMB and RMB buttons, the spacebar and a real-time CPS counter. Each component can be turned on or off separately from an in-game settings menu opened with RIGHT SHIFT, and the CPS counter can switch between LMB, RMB and combined LMB/RMB tracking. The text labels can be removed for a more minimal look, and the CPS counter sits directly beneath the mouse buttons by default.
The mod is a lightweight quality-of-life utility aimed at PvP, Bedwars and other competitive minigames on 1.8.9, and at streamers and content creators who need key presses and click speeds to appear on screen. It is a Forge mod for the 1.8.9 release only, with the latest file dated 2026-08-01. It runs on the client alone and is released under the MIT License, but the code is not open source.
Key features
WASD and mouse display
Keys and mouse buttons are drawn in real time as the player presses them, including the spacebar.
CPS counter
A clicks-per-second readout tracks LMB, RMB or both, and its text can be hidden.
In-game settings menu
Opening the menu with RIGHT SHIFT lets players toggle individual HUD components and adjust the CPS category.
Layout control
Components can be placed and hidden independently, without restarting the game, so the overlay can be reduced to just the keys the player needs.

How it compares
BasicHUD is a Forge mod for 1.8.9, client-side only, released under the MIT License and open source. Modern CPS is also a Forge 1.8.9 client mod under the MIT License, but it is not open source and focuses on the CPS counter alone. EvergreenHUD covers Fabric, Forge and Ornithe for 1.8.9 – 26.3 under a custom license and is not open source, so it reaches far more versions than this mod.
