Controls

IridescentCraft ships one curated set of default keybinds for its ~450 mods, so every important ability, menu, and tool has its own working key out of the box — no two gameplay functions fight over the same button, and nothing you need is left unbound. Fresh installs get this layout automatically. Everything remains fully rebindable in Options → Controls → Key Binds (use the search box — there are a lot of entries).

Already playing and want the new layout? Open Options → Controls → Key Binds and click Reset Keys (bottom of the screen). That resets every bind to the pack defaults below while keeping all your graphics and sound settings. (Individual Reset buttons work per-key too.)

Good to know

• In menus, keys are separate. GUI-only shortcuts (JEI's R/U/A, crafting-tweaks K, trash slot T/Delete, storage sorting) deliberately share letters with in-world actions — they only fire inside screens and never conflict with gameplay.
• Hold-Alt is a shared "radial" convention. Iron's spell bar, Create's tool menu, Steam 'n' Rails menus, and the Relics ability list all use held Alt on purpose — they're contextual to what you're holding.
• Some keys are intentionally unbound: emotes, admin/cheat buttons, per-familiar toggles, quick-cast slots 1–15, and similar optional extras. Bind any of them yourself if you use them — the search box in Controls is your friend.
• The Codex is live. Keybind references in the in-game Codex always show your current binding, so if you rebind something, the book follows.
