How To Create A Shortcut For Minecraft

"Control" redirects here. For the sprinting which is activated by the control key, see Sprinting.

Java and Bedrock editions for Windows uses the standard control scheme of mouse and keyboard controls as input. The game cannot be played using only a mouse or only a keyboard using the default control scheme. The controls menu is located in the Options setting.

Java Edition [ ]

Non-configurable controls [ ]

Note: On many notebook computers and most Macs, "Function keys" (briefly "F-keys") do not operate in their default configuration. The player can often get around this by pressing the Fn key or sometimes the ⇧ Shift key while they press an F-key. To make F-keys work in macOS, go to the Apple menu → System Preferences → Keyboard and mouse and check the "Use F1, F2 etc. as normal keys." If the player choose the first option, they can then use the Fn key to switch F-keys back to actions they used to do (e.g. play/pause music, etc.). The player can also use the F-keys by holding the ⌥ Option button while pressing them.

Java Edition uses a combination of the mouse and keyboard for controls, generically known as "mouselook/keymove." Many prior games (such as DOOM and Quake) have used such a scheme, but those who have not played such a game before, may need practice to get around effectively. Creative mode or Peaceful survival mode are helpful for a player to gain familiarity with the controls.

Action Function
Left click Pick an item up from a slot; split a stack evenly (hold and drag); sort loose items into one stack (double-click).
Right click Pick an item up from a slot; Pick an item on a slot in half; Place one item from a stack in each inventory slot (hold and drag).
Mouse Move Turning; aiming; camera movement.
Mouse Wheel Scroll Scrolls through the Hotbar and the chat when opened.
Esc Opens up the menu and gives back cursor control. Pauses Singleplayer games. Closes any open GUI. Exits the chat/command window.
Ctrl +B Toggles the Narrator.
F1 Toggles the Heads-Up Display.

Use this in conjunction with F2 to take screenshots without the HUD. This option is also useful when exploring with a map.

F3 Pressing this key toggles the appearance of extra debug information on the top of the screen alongside the Minecraft version, such as FPS (frames per second), coordinates, and available memory.

Pressing the keys 19 while in the debug screen shows a more detailed view of the graph on the right. Pressing 0 shows a less detailed graph. (Hold ⇧ Shift before pressing F3 to display the Profiler graph.)

Pressing Q while holding F3 brings up a help menu, showing all F3 shortcuts.

Pressing A while holding F3 reloads all chunks.

Pressing T while holding F3 reloads all textures, sounds and web-loaded client resources, which is useful for resource pack authors.

Pressing P while holding F3 toggles the auto-pause when the window loses focus.

Pressing H while holding F3 toggles detailed item descriptions.

  • Shows tool and armor durability as a fraction on damaged items
  • Displays the zoom level of a map

Pressing C while holding F3 copies the player's coordinates and rotation as a /tp command.

Pressing C while holding F3 for at least 6 seconds triggers a manual debug crash on purpose after the keys are released.

Pressing B while holding F3 toggles showing the hitbox around entities.

Pressing D while holding F3 clears chat history (including previously typed commands).

Pressing N while holding F3 switches the player's game mode between the previous game mode and Spectator.

Pressing G while holding F3 shows the chunk boundaries immediately surrounding the player.

Pressing Esc while holding F3 pauses the game without bringing up the pause menu.

Pressing F4 while holding F3 brings up the gamemode changer menu.

Pressing L while holding F3 begins a ten-second recording, which captures information such as tick durations and used heap sizes.

F5

When the F5 key is pressed while on the multiplayer screen, it refreshes the server list.

⇧ Shift [ verify ] When the inventory is open, ⇧ Shift +  clicking on an item or stack moves it between the inventory and the hotbar.

⇧ Shift +  clicking on a piece of armor, a carved pumpkin, a mob head or a pair of elytra moves it between the inventory and the corresponding armor slot.

⇧ Shift +  clicking on a shield moves it between the inventory and the off-hand slot.

When a container is open, ⇧ Shift +  clicking on an item moves up to a stack between the container and the inventory. Existing stacks are filled first, then empty slots from top to bottom then from left to right. ⇧ Shift +  double clicking moves all items of the same kind. To ⇧ Shift +  double click, get one item in hand, and while holding ⇧ Shift, double click on another item type to move it.

When a crafting table is open, ⇧ Shift +  clicking an item or stack in the inventory moves it into the 3x3 crafting grid. The slots are filled from left to right and then top to bottom.

When any type of furnace is open, ⇧ Shift +  clicking an item or stack in the inventory moves it into the input (upper left) slot of the furnace. Items that can serve as fuel move to the fuel (lower left) slot.

When crafting, ⇧ Shift +  clicking the crafting output automatically crafts the maximum number of that item for the materials being used (up to one stack), and moves all crafted items to the inventory.

In the survival inventory tab of the creative inventory, ⇧ Shift +  clicking the X clears the whole inventory. In any other tab, ⇧ Shift +  clicking an item puts a stack onto the hotbar.

When in the Multiplayer server selection menu, ⇧ Shift + and ⇧ Shift + moves a server name to a specific position. Holding ⇧ Shift while a server name is selected and left clicking another server name causes them to swap.

Semi-configurable controls [ ]

While aspects of these controls can be modified to an extent, full control over them is not possible

Default Option name Function
Movement
W Sprint (secondary) This is always the same as the current forward key. When pressed twice in quick succession, causes the player to sprint (unless the character is too hungry). Attempting to sprint (Double-Tap) while fully submerged underwater initiates swimming. This functionality cannot be separated from the forward key.

Configurable controls [ ]

These are controls that a user may change at their preference

Default In-game option name Keybind identifier Function
Movement
Spacebar Jump key.jump Jump. When swimming, keeps the player afloat. When double-tapped, toggles Fly Mode (Creative only). When Fly Mode is on, causes the player to gain altitude (ascend). Player flies faster if sprinting while double-tapping the Spacebar.
Left ⇧ Shift Sneak key.sneak Sneak. When Fly Mode is on, causes the player to lose altitude (descend).

Holding ⇧ Shift and pressing use on an usable block with a block in hand overrides the USE action and places the block instead. For example, using a lever on a block that would usually open an internal inventory (such as a dispenser) places the lever instead.

Used to get off rideable entities.

Left Ctrl Sprint key.sprint Start sprinting. Increase speed when Fly Mode is on.
A Strafe Left key.left Strafe left.
D Strafe Right key.right Strafe right.
S Walk Backward key.back Move backward.
W Walk Forward key.forward Move forward. The secondary sprint is permanently tied to this.
Gameplay
Left click Attack/Destroy key.attack Destroy blocks (hold down); Attack (click once).
Middle click Pick Block key.pickItem Pressing that button while looking at a block or an entity makes the game attempt to put a corresponding item for the block or entity in the player's hand. For blocks, it is simply the block in item form. For mobs, the game places the corresponding spawn egg in the player's hand. This also works on boats, all types of minecarts, paintings, and armor stands‌[ Java Edition only ] [1] to get the entity in item form. If the item is in the hotbar, it switches the selected hotbar slot to the slot with that item. If the item is not in the hotbar, but in the player's inventory, it moves that item from the inventory into the hotbar. If no hotbar slot is empty, the item selected is replaced. In creative mode, if the item is not in the inventory, the game gives the player that item. This works only in creative mode for entities.‌[ Java Edition only ] [2]

Hovering over an item in any inventory and clicking with the mouse wheel when in creative gives one full stack of that item. Dragging over slots of inventory/container while holding an item fills them with full stacks of copies of that item.

If used on a tile entity while holding Ctrl, or ⌘ Cmd (for some Macs), the tile entity's nbt data are copied. The block given to the player has the Lore: (+NBT)[ Java Edition only ] or (+DATA)[ Bedrock Edition only ]..

Right click Use Item/Place Block key.use

Place blocks, toggle switches/doors (click once), charge a bow (release to fire), block using a shield, use special blocks like chests, doors, and switches, enter vehicles, eat food, drink potions, hoe farmland, shear or dye a sheep, command tamed wolves and ocelots to sit, trade with villagers, place fire using flint and steel or a fire charge, name a mob with a name tag, attach a lead to an animal or attach an animal on a lead to a fence, cast or reel in a fishing rod, throw a splash potion, egg, ender pearl, eye of ender, bottle o' enchanting, or snowball, equip armor from the hotbar if the associated armor slot is empty, eating cake, starting a furnace minecart.

Commonly, if both the item held and the block clicked on has a such purpose (like trying to place dirt on a chest), the block overrules the item. This also means a player can punch an entity while eating/drinking, however the eating/drinking resets when a player presses Button 1.

This button also uses items in the off-hand. Only items with a right click function can be used, and they are available only if the item in the main hand does not have a right click action, or its right click action cannot be performed.

Inventory
Q Drop Selected Item key.drop Drop/toss an item. If items are stacked, only one gets thrown/tossed/dropped. In recent versions of Java edition, holding the key causes single items to be dropped quickly from a stack. There is no actual "throw" command; "drop" (default Q) tosses an object approximately 2 to 3 blocks from the player. Eggs, Ender Pearls, Eyes of Ender, and Snowballs can be thrown by the "use" command (default right-clicking). Ctrl +Q drops the whole stack of items. On Mac, even though most shortcuts use the command key, Ctrl +Q is still the "drop stack" bind.

Note that there is no corresponding Pick Up command. Dropped items are picked up (if there is room in inventory/hotbar) by moving near them. Placed items are picked up by "mining" (e.g. chopping up a sign with an axe), when they behave as dropped items and can be picked up as such.

19 Hotbar Slot key.hotbar.1–key.hotbar.9 Selects the appropriate hotbar item. When in the Inventory GUI, moves the stack of items under the mouse pointer to the corresponding hotbar slot and vice-versa.
E Open/Close Inventory key.inventory Opens the Inventory. Close any open GUI.
F Swap Items In Hands key.swapOffhand Switches the items in the players main and off hand.
Creative Mode
X Load Toolbar Activator key.loadToolbarActivator Press this key + any number, to access any of the 9 saved toolbars.
C Save Toolbar Activator key.saveToolbarActivator Press this key + any number, to save the current toolbar under that number.
Multiplayer
Tab ↹ List Players key.playerlist In Multiplayer, hold the Tab ↹ key to see a list of players.

When in the chat window, Tab ↹ cycles through possible commands or arguments and also complete player names.

T Open Chat key.chat Chat and Server commands. If pressed while the Creative mode inventory is open, it switches to the Search tab.
/ Open Command key.command Opens the chat window with the "/" character already typed. On some keyboards (Nordic layout at least) this button might be asterisk/apostrophe (*/ ' ).
P Social Interactions Screen key.socialInteractions Gives players the ability to disable chatting with certain players, thus hiding any messages receiving from them. Whether a player is hidden resets when re-joining a server.
Miscellaneous
L Advancements key.advancements Open the advancements screen.
NONE Highlight Players (Spectators) key.spectatorOutlines Highlights players in Spectator mode.
F2 Take Screenshot key.screenshot Simply pressing this key takes a screenshot and place it in:

%appdata%\.minecraft\screenshots on Windows
~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/screenshots on macOS
~/.minecraft/screenshots on Linux.

NONE Toggle Cinematic Camera key.smoothCamera Toggles mouse smoothing. Looking around becomes a slow, smooth and more cinematic motion.
F11 Toggle Fullscreen key.fullscreen Toggles full-screen mode.

When using some Apple keyboards, F11 must be pressed while holding Fn and ⌥ Option to enter fullscreen. Using F11 alone toggles Exposé, and pressing F11 while holding Fn turns down the volume or vice versa, depending on system preferences.

Some people are experiencing a bug while exiting from full-screen mode that causes an inescapable black screen. When that's the case, use Alt +Tab ↹ to switch out of Minecraft and switch it back to windowed mode.

On Linux, mouse input is often buggy while in full-screen mode. After entering full-screen mode on Linux, the mouse typically restricts the player to a single 360-degree rotation. This can be fixed by hitting Esc to release the mouse then hitting Esc again to regrab it.

Also, note that this may not respect multiple monitors and Minecraft may occupy all screens instead of the one it is active on.

F5 Toggle Perspective key.togglePerspective Toggles between first person, third person from the back and third person from the front.

Controller [ ]

The controller controls are similar to the Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 editions, with some differences. All of these controls, except the stick controls, can be changed in the Options. The Nintendo Switch version can be played with a pair of Joy-Con controllers, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, or the Nintendo Switch Lite. It cannot be played with a single Joy-Con, as it does not have enough buttons or control sticks. If the controller has analog sticks, then Left analog stick/Left analog stick/Left stick/Left analog stick/Left analog stick would be used for moving and Right analog stick/Right analog stick/Right stick/Right analog stick/Right analog stick would be used for looking. The blank spaces mean that the function is, by default, left unassigned and it is up to the player to assign a button to it. All platforms support controllers.

Old Keys [ ]

Paeonia (texture) TU1.png

This section describes content that exists only in outdated versions of Minecraft.

This feature used to be in the game but has since been removed.

Below are the list of keys which are no longer usable in the current versions of the game.[5]

Java Edition [ ]

This section is missing information about twitch integration keys.

Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

Key Versions used Function
B 0.0.20a–Java Edition Indev 0.31 20091223-2 Brought up the list of usable blocks in Classic Creative, and the first two Creative Indev 0.31 versions.
B Java Edition Indev 0.31 20100129 Brought up the crafting GUI.
I Java Edition Indev 0.31 20100104–Beta 1.3_01 Brought up Inventory before Beta 1.4 changed the key to E.
↵ Enter 0.0.14a_04–0.30 Set Spawn Point in Classic Creative.
R (Respawn above random[note 1] points of the map) rd-132211–0.0.13a_03

(Respawn at set spawn point) 0.0.14a_04–0.30

Moved the player to random points of the map, before 0.0.14a_04. Respawned the player at set spawn point.
F4 Java Edition Alpha v1.2.2 Spawned a Nether Portal. Used for debug by Notch and removed in a second revision of the same version, without changing the version number.
F5 0.26 SURVIVAL TEST–Java Edition Indev 20100207-2 Toggled rain in Classic and Indev.
F6 Java Edition Infdev 20100624–Alpha v1.1.2_01 Shows lagometer if held down.
F3 Alpha v1.1.1–Alpha v1.1.2_01 Shows FPS, and debug info, if held down.
F6
and
F7
Beta 1.8 Pre-release Moved the day/night cycle backward and forward, respectively (only in singleplayer).

F6 in the pre-reupload also freezes the player's y-axis position if pressed once, and pressing it again unfreezes their y-axis position.

F10
or
Left Alt
0.0.10a - On Windows, focuses on the icon of the window and freezes all of Minecraft's processes, thus stopping setting the location of the mouse to the center of the window and letting the cursor become visible, although the cursor bounds stay the same, allowing for review before taking a screenshot. Holding a movement key then toggling this on then off again makes that key stuck on, even if it is let go. Pressing the same movement key again stops it.
G rd-160052 – 0.0.23a_01 Spawned a Human in Pre-Classic and Classic Creative.
Y Java Edition pre-Classic mc-161616–0.0.22a_05 Inverted mouse in Classic Creative.
F 0.0.12a–Beta 1.7.3 Toggled render distance (fog), changed to F3 + F in Beta 1.8.
N 0.0.12a - Generated a new map in Classic Creative.
F7 Java Edition Indev 0.31 20091231-1 – Java Edition Indev 20100223 Isometrically rendered a finite map in Minecraft Indev and 0.31 Indev.
⇧ Shift
+
F2
Beta 1.2_02 – Beta 1.4_01 Called an unfinished experimental screenshot function that attempted to generate a huge 645 megapixel TGA image with a resolution of 36,450×17,700 pixels.[6]

Pressing this key combination would cause Minecraft to either freeze for a while, displaying several clipped tiles of the current view or crash, depending on available RAM. During this time it would attempt to generate a file of 1.8 GB in size that may end up corrupt.

F8 Beta 1.3–12w08a Slowly pans the camera when moving. (Now must be configured in Options... → Controls... → Miscellaneous → Toggle Cinematic Camera)

Debugging controls [ ]

These controls are used for debugging and were unintentionally left in-game in the following versions: Beta 1.8 Pre-release (pre-reupload only), Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5 and snapshot 12w08a.[7] [8] The controls are called the "deadmau5 camera".[9]

J Beta 1.8 Pre-release, Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5 and 12w08a Slowly pans the camera left.[7]
L Beta 1.8 Pre-release, Beta 1.9 Prerelease 5 and 12w08a Slowly pans the camera right.[7]

Pocket Edition [ ]

Button Versions used Function
Search Button Alpha 0.1.2 The search button used to be able to change the camera to and from third person view on all Android devices (with a search button), but now this has to be done via the pause screen, since many devices do not have a search button. The Xperia PLAY retains this functionality.
