Controls

Overview

This page provides more information on the controls for the Minefortress mod as of version 1.11.1-beta (released 11/01/2024).

Basics

By default, some keybindings are already listed in the help menu which can be accessed by pressing the question mark button () found on the left of the screen. The keybindings for flying around and going up or down equal the ones used for creative mode. That means on a QWERTY keyboard and with default Minecraft settings WASD would be used to move forward, left, backwards or right.

Please note that some keybindings might differ due to different keyboard layouts. For example, the keybinding for moving the selection down (Ctrl/⌘ + Q) uses the A key, which is positioned where the Q key would be on the QWERTY layout.
