Any key used in the game can be rebound to something different, which may be important for some players: in general, everyone playing the game for extended periods should set the keys to bindings which are comfortable to use -- also, take breaks!

Controls tab of Settings menu

• Mouse modifiers locked to Sneak/Sprint: Several mouse actions in-game require a combination of either the Shift key or the Ctrl key, as well as a mouseclick (left or right mouse button) - for example, placing down buckets requires both Shift and Ctrl. By default, the Shift key is the key used for Sneak , and the Ctrl key is used for Sprint , and if you are happy with those defaults then this setting is probably not going to be relevant to you. But if you want to change Sneak to a different key, then it becomes important: by default (locked), changing the Sneak control has the effect of changing the key which has to be pressed for Shift + mouseclick actions as well. Some people like that (thinking of it as "Sneak + mouseclick"), some people don't like that at all (they want to change the control for Sneak without changing the normal Shift + mouseclick control ...) If you are one of the people who wants to reconfigure Sneak without reconfiguring the Shift key, then unlocking mouse modifiers means you can keep on using Shift as the Shift key for mouseclicks as normal, even though the Sneak key has changed to something different. Or, if you like, you can leave the Sneak key as it is but change only the key used as the Shift key for mouseclicking. The same applies to the Ctrl key and Sprint which are locked together by default - for example, use this setting if you want to change the Sprint key to Q or R (some people find that more comfortable) but keep on using the Ctrl key for Ctrl + mouse clicks.

People who use the mouse in their left hand might like to change these settings to use the right-hand side R Shift and R Ctrl keys on the keyboard for Shift + mouse click and Ctrl + mouse click actions.

• In the Mouse tab, the mouse buttons can themselves be reconfigured, for example to swap left and right mouse buttons, or assign a keyboard control instead of a mouse button.
