Unbind keys
by JAMBlT
Unbind keys restores the ability to unbind a key in Minecraft, so the Escape key is no longer assigned to an action it should not hold.
What it does
Unbind keys fixes a binding problem in the controls menu: a key that is left unassigned can end up tied to Escape, which blocks the player from clearing it. With the mod installed, a binding can be removed as intended, and the rest of the controls keep working as before.
The mod runs on the client alone, so only players need it. It is built for Forge and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Clearing key bindings
A key binding can be unbound from the controls menu, so a key left without an action stays empty.
Escape key fix
The Escape key is no longer assigned to an action it should not hold, which keeps the menu usable.
Other bindings kept
Other key bindings are left as they were, so remapping works without any extra steps.
