Preventing Hotkeys from Triggering in Menus

If you don't want a resize hotkey to trigger while your inventory or chat is open:

  1. Go to Advanced > Hotkeys and select the hotkey.
  2. Under Required Game States, untick Any.
  3. Untick Cursor Free.

Cursor Free means your cursor is visible on screen (inventory, chat, pause menu). Cursor Grabbed means you're looking around in the world. With Cursor Free unticked, the hotkey only works while you're in the world.

Note: There is no legal way to differentiate between the pause menu and the inventory. They are both the "Cursor Free" state.

Exclusion Keys

If your resize hotkey is a key that does something when combined with F3 (e.g., G for chunk borders with F3+G):

  1. Go to Advanced > Hotkeys and select the hotkey.
  2. Under Exclusion Keys, F3 is added by default.

This means pressing F3+G toggles chunk borders (the F3 action), while pressing just G toggles the mode. You can add or remove exclusion keys here.

Trigger on Release

When enabled, the hotkey does nothing when you press the key down. It only triggers when you release the key. This can be useful for keys that have press-and-hold behavior in Minecraft.

Hold to Activate (Trigger Only When Holding)

When enabled, the mode is active only while you hold the key. When you let go, it returns to your default mode.

This is useful for hotkeys bound to keys like B that would otherwise toggle the narrator on press.

Sensitivity Hotkeys

You can create hotkeys that change your mouse sensitivity:

  1. Go to Advanced > Hotkeys > Add New.
  2. Set a key (e.g., O).
  3. Drag the sensitivity slider to your desired value (e.g., 0.08x).

By default, pressing the hotkey applies the sensitivity once. If you want it to work as a toggle (press once to apply, press again to reset), enable the Toggle option.

Secondary Hotkey Modes

If you want the same key to switch to different modes depending on context (e.g., Thin in the overworld, Wide in the Nether):

  1. Go to Advanced > Hotkeys and select your mode hotkey (e.g., Z for Thin).
  2. Add an Alternative Secondary Mode.
  3. Bind a separate hotkey for it (e.g., Alt+X).
  4. Set the secondary mode (e.g., Wide).

Now:

  • Pressing Z toggles between Thin and Full Screen (the default behavior).
  • Pressing Alt+X switches the secondary mode to Wide. After this, pressing Z toggles between Wide and Full Screen instead.
  • Pressing Alt+X again switches it back to Thin.

When you enter a new world, the secondary mode resets back to the default (Thin).
