Controls

Minecraft 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.

Function Keys
There are some keys that are not changeable via Options that perform special functions within the stand alone client.

Note: F-keys that must be held (F1 and F3) can instead be toggled by pressing Alt (Windows) or Command (Mac) before releasing the F-key. This does not work in full-screen mode, and may not work on all operating systems.

Old Keys
Below are the list of keys which are no longer usable in the current version of the game.
