Control groups Most RTS games use a control group method to allow players to quickly re-select a group of predefined units. This is achived in RTSCraft by using the Control Key (command on mac) + the Keys on the bottom row of your keyboard eg : "ZXCVBNM<>/" These keys where chosen because the numeric keys were used by minecraft's hot bar. This will set the selected units to that control group.

To recall a control group that was set use the same Key without pressing control "ZXCVBNM<>/"

To clear selected units from a control group first use the Deselect all option (G by default) then press Control+ the control groups hot key to select "nothing" on that control group.

RTSCraft uses the keybinding system in Minecraft if you do not like the default keys we have chosen.
