The killer feature is the ability to use the UI with keyboard only, with no pain.

E.g. MM on Title Screen joins the first server in your multiplayer list.

There are currently the following keybinds:

    • Searchbox is automatically selected when opening screen so you can start typing immidiately
    • Enter to join the top-most world on the search list
  • Server Selection Screen

    • M to join the first server in the server list
    • A to add new server
    • D to open the direct connect screen (not implemented yet)
    • 1-9 to join the corresponding server in the server list
  • Server Disconnect Screen

    • ESC to return to Server Selection Screen
    • R to reconnect to the server
  • Creative Menu

    • Tab to automatically switch to the search page and automatically select textbox
    • Tab when you have the textbox selected to clear it

Im open to suggestions for more keybinds!

Resource Pack

This mod comes with a built-in resource pack that shows keybinds in the UI

Why can't I rebind these keys in controls?

This mod does not use the minecraft keybinding system, so as to prevent conflicts (ex. S to open world selection screen would block movement backwards).

You can code a ModMenu integration for user config — I'll accept PRs for that as soon as possible.
