This page was last verified for Vintage Story version 1.19.7.


Vintage Story primarily uses mouse and keyboard input for controls. All controls listed here are defaults. These can be changed via the in-game settings.

Toggleable options

Two general options affect the Sneak and Sprint keys and extended mouse-clicking, for example Shift + click.

Option Effect
Toggle Sprint On: Sprinting is toggled using the Sprint key - tap once to enable, and tap again to disable sprinting.
Off: The Sprint key must be held down to run. (Note: if you find it uncomfortable holding down the Ctrl key at the same time as W for movement, Sprint can be rebound to a different key, for example Q or R, see also mouse modifiers description following.)
Mouse modifiers locked to Sneak/Sprint On: (Default) Shift + mouseclick actions are achieved by holding the Sneak key while clicking. Ctrl + mouseclick actions are achieved by holding the Sprint key. If Sneak is bound to the Shift key, and Sprint is bound to the Ctrl key, then this may be just fine. But if you re-bound Sneak or Sprint to something different - especially if you reversed them so that the Shift key is now Sprint as some people like to do - then it may be weird to press keys other than Shift and Ctrl with the mouse buttons, in which case this setting should be turned Off...
Off: The mouseclick modifiers (i.e. the Shift and Ctrl keys) can be bound totally separately from the Sneak and Sprint keys. This allows Sneak and Sprint to be reconfigured without affecting Shift and Ctrl for mouseclicks. This setting can also be used, for example, to change over to using the keyboard right hand side R Shift and R Ctrl keys for mouseclicks, which may help accessibility for people who use the mouse in their left hand.

List of controls

Mouse controls

See Settings/Mouse for additional mouse-related settings

All of these are found under the "Mouse" tab in the Settings menu.

Key Action
Left mouse button Primary mouse button
Right mouse button Secondary mouse button
MMB.png Middle mouse

The primary interaction key allows players to:

  • Break blocks
  • Use equipped tools
  • Attack with equipped weapons
  • Draw back ranged weapons (when held)
  • Select objects in menu screens, such as the inventory, character inventory, and creative inventory

The secondary interaction key allows players to:

  • Place blocks
  • Open storage containers
  • Open firepit menus
  • Eat equipped items (when held)
  • Place items in a fruit press
  • Remove items from a forge
  • Pick up objects on the ground, such as sticks, loose stones, and placed wearable containers

When modified by the Sneak key (or the Shift-click modifier), the secondary interaction key allows players to:

  • Place loose stones, flint and obsidian for knapping
  • Place clay on the ground for clay forming
  • Place items in a forge
  • Place wearable containers on the ground
  • Extract honeycomb on a placed bowl

When modified by the Run key (or the Ctrl-click modifier) and the Sneak key (or the Shift-click modifier), the secondary interaction key allows players to lean applicable items against a two-block high wall.
