-So, what are we doing here? Fabric entrypoints for most use cases are designated by implementing a special interface unique to the side or sides that the code in the entrypoint should be run on. For our Client, we simply have our class implement the ''ClientModInitializer'' interface. The interface requires us to ''@Override'' a single method, ''onInitializeClient''. It is in this method (and the equivalents from the other entrypoints respectively) that we will often call methods provided by the Fabric API for easily registering and adding some of the objects and behaviors that we may wish to have in our mod. Of course, we'll also need to update our `fabric.mod.jsonto include our newly created entrypoint, so be sure to consult the [[documentation:entrypoint|entrypoints page]] if you need a refresher on that process.+So, what are we doing here?

-If you want a sticky key, add ''() -> true'' as last parameter.+Sticky keys can also be created with ''KeyBindingHelper''. In vanilla, the sneak and sprint keys act as sticky keys when they are set to 'Sneak: Toggle' and 'Sprint: Toggle' respectively. If a key binding should always act as a sticky key, then pass ''() -> true'' as the final 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.
