HQM Keybind
Adds a keybind to open Hardcore Questing Mode's quest book without the book.
About this Mod
What is this?
- This is a small extension for the mod "Hardcore Questing Mode".
- The extension adds a keybind to the Controls menu that lets you quickly open HQM's quest book UI without needing to hold and use a Quest Book item.
Why would I use this?
- The ability to open the quest UI with a keybind is provided by other questing mods, but not by HQM in 1.7.10.
- Having to carry around a Quest Book item is clunky and inconvenient. It takes up a valuable inventory slot, and forces you to either keep it on your hotbar or search through your inventory for it any time you want to view your quests.
Multiplayer Disclaimer
HQM Keybind will not work unless installed on both the server and the client.

Server lagging with HQM Keybind – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if HQM Keybind consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
