Configurable Controls

These controls can be changed in the “Change Keys” menu.

Movement

W: Move forwards
A: Move to the left
D: Move to the right
S: Move backwards
J: Toggle fast mode (requires “fast” privilege)
K: Toggle fly mode (requires “fly” privilege)
H: Toggle noclip mode, only works if fly mode is also on (requires “noclip” privilege)
E: Walk fast (only works if fast mode is on)

While standing on solid ground

Space: Jump
Shift: Walk slower and sneak (walking to the edge of a node without risking falling down)

When “fly mode” is activated

Space: Rise
Shift: Fall

While on a ladder

Space: Climb uphill
Shift: Climb downhill

While in a liquid

Space: Swim upwards
Shift: Swim downwards

World interaction

Left mouse button: Attack; mine blocks
Right mouse button: Use (e.g. open chest/furnace); build blocks
Mouse wheel: Select block/item in hotbar
0-9: Select block/item in hotbar
Q: Drop wielded block/item
I: Show/hide inventory menu

Inventory interaction

See Inventory#Controls.

=== Server interaction ===you will see an empty world if you move away from your initial position.

T: Open chat window (You require the “shout” privilege to chat.)
/: Start issuing a server command

Technical

R: Far view (disables all fog and allows viewing far away, may cause massive FPS drop)
F10: open/close console/chat log
F12: Take a screenshot (as a PNG image)
P: Show/hide some debug stuff (only interesting for developers)

Fixed Controls

These controls cannot be changed in the “Change Keys” menu.

F1: Show/hide HUD
F2: Show/hide chat and the text “Minetest” along with the version number at the upper left part of the screen
F3: Enable/disable fog
F4: Enable/disable camera updates. Warning: Players normally don’t want this to be disabled. If this is disabled, the world around you won’t be updated anymore and you will start to notice it if you move away from the position where you disabled camera updates
F5: Enable/disable debug screen which also shows your coordinates
F6: Enable/disable profiler (only interesting for developers)
+ (numpad): Increase minimal viewing distance
- (numpad): Decrease minimal viewing distance
