  • Q: Drop wielded block/item
  • I: Show/hide inventory menu

Inventory interaction

See Inventory#Controls.

Server interaction

Technical

  • R: Toggle 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: Write current stacktraces into the file “debug.txt”. This feature is 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)
  • F7: (comes in version 4.9.10): Toggle camera. Available are (in this order): first person view, third person view from the back, third person view from the front
  • + (numpad): Increase minimal viewing distance
  • - (numpad): Decrease minimal viewing distance
