 Minecraft handles user input from peripherals such as the keyboard & mouse using key-binds. When you press W your character moves forward, and when you press E your inventory opens. Every keybind can also be configured with the settings menu, so you can make your player move with arrow keys instead of WASD if you so desire. Minecraft handles user input from peripherals such as the keyboard & mouse using key-binds.

-Fabric API has a **FabricKeyBinding** object, which makes it easier to create your own **KeyBinding**. Declare one of these in an area of your preference:+Declare one of these in an area of your preference:

-keyBinding = FabricKeyBinding.Builder.create( +keyBinding = KeyBindingHelper.registerKeyBinding(new KeyBinding( 
-    new Identifier("tutorial", "spook")+    "key.examplemod.spook", // The translation key of the keybinding's name 
-    InputUtil.Type.KEYSYM, +    InputUtil.Type.KEYSYM, // The type of the keybinding, KEYSYM for keyboard, MOUSE for mouse.

-    "Wiki Keybinds+    "category.examplemod.test// The translation key of the keybinding's category. 
-).build();+));

 +If you want a sticky key, add "() -> true" as last parameter.
      
 GLFW.GLFW_KEY_R can be replaced with whatever key you want the binding to default to. The category is related to how the keybinding is grouped in the settings page. GLFW.GLFW_KEY_R can be replaced with whatever key you want the binding to default to.

-==== Registering your Keybind ==== +The code here will print "Key 1 was pressed!" ingame.
- +
-To register your keybinding, register using the **KeybindingRegistry**, **in the client mod initializer**:+
  
 <code java> <code java>
-KeyBindingRegistry.INSTANCE.register(keyBinding); 
-</code> 
-   
-If you log in to your game now, you will see your key binding in the settings page. 
  
- +ClientTickCallback.EVENT.register(client -> { 
-==== Responding to your Keybind ==== +    while (keyBinding.wasPressed()) 
- + client.player.sendMessage(new LiteralText("Key 1 was pressed!"), false); 
- +    }
-Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut way to respond to a keybinding. Most would agree the best way is to hook into the client tick event: +
- +
-<code java> +
-ClientTickCallback.EVENT.register(-> +
-+
-    if(keyBinding.isPressed()) System.out.println("was pressed!");+
 }); });
 </code> </code>
      
 Keep note that this is entirely client-side. To have the server respond to a keybind, you'll need to send a custom packet and have the server handle it separately. Keep note that this is entirely client-side.
