About this Mod
Key Filter
A client-side Minecraft mod that lets you lock, hide, and disable key bindings.
Supports both Fabric and NeoForge.
Features
For every key binding you can toggle three independent states:
- Lock — prevents the binding from being changed, so you don't overwrite it by accident.
- Hide — hides the entry from the vanilla Controls screen to keep the list clean.
- Disable — makes the game ignore the key entirely, even if another mod or feature would normally consume it.
Usage
- Press F8 in-game to open the Key Filter config screen.
(Default binding — it can be rebound from the vanilla Controls menu.) - In the list, use the buttons next to each binding to toggle its state:
Lock/UnlockHide/ShowDisable/Enable
Settings are stored in config/keyfilter.json.

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