About this Mod
The killer feature is the ability to use the UI with keyboard only, with no pain.
E.g. MM on Title Screen joins the first server in your multiplayer list.

Resource Pack
This mod comes with a built-in resource pack that shows keybinds in the UI
Why can't I rebind these keys in controls?
This mod does not use the minecraft keybinding system, so as to prevent conflicts (ex. S to open world selection screen would block movement backwards).
You can code a ModMenu integration for user config — I'll accept PRs for that as soon as possible.

UI Keybinds server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

UI Keybinds officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with UI Keybinds – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if UI Keybinds consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
