About this Mod
The Controlling mod is officially supported by ViewBoard 1.2.0+
IMPORTANT NOTE: A GUI scale of 3 or below is heavily recommended to display the keyboard at a resolution of 1080p or more.
TL;DR
This mod adds a button in the bottom-right corner of the keybinds settings. It opens a preview of your keyboard and color codes each key depending on whether it's:
- Free (No keybinds are using the key)
- Used (The key is being used by one keybind)
- Conflicting (Multiple keybinds use the key)
This mod is especially useful if you are playing a large modpack with multiple keybinds using the same key. You can also use it to find which key on the keyboard is free and can be assigned to a new keybind.

ViewBoard server crashes on startup – what to do?

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