Key codes

This is a list of key codes used by Minecraft, which are used in the options.txt file.

Java Edition

Only keys which can be directly detected by the operating system are able to be bound to game controls - keys such as F Lock^[1] or Fn typically are not recognisable themselves as keys, and Minecraft and all other computer programs will be oblivious to them in isolation.

Only mouse buttons can have controls be bound to them in the options menu. Mouse movement, vertical scrolling and horizontal scrolling are hardcoded, and their default actions cannot be assigned to other keys or buttons, nor can scrolling or moving the mouse be made to do anything else.

Java Edition does not provide official support for controllers.

Keyboard codes

This article needs to be updated.

Please update this article to reflect recent updates or newly available information. The talk page may contain suggestions.
Reason: Snapshot 9 just seems to have added every SDL3 keycode, we need to figure out what ones are unused and put them in a separate table

The displayed names of several keys will change depending on the currently active system keyboard layout. The values displayed in this table assume a standard en-US QWERTY layout. Some keys also have operating system dependent names, which are assigned different rows sharing an ID.

Without names

This section describes a planned feature.^{[citation needed]}

It has not appeared in any development versions yet, but is planned to be included in a future update.

SDL3 maintains its own internal numbering system, meaning that these match from one operating system to the other, unlike what was the case with GLFW.^{[upcoming: JE 26.3]}

While any number can be placed after key.keyboard.^{[note 16]}, only those which can actually be accessed via a key press binding in-game are listed. Many are automatically converted to proper key IDs at runtime.

The keys listed here are mostly comprised of buttons exclusive to Japanese, Korean and Brazilian keyboard layouts, as well as buttons on multimedia keyboards.

Mouse codes

Mouse buttons are handled as a signed 32-bit integer, meaning that through editing options.txt, values from key.mouse.-2147483648 to key.mouse.2147483647 can be specified without being rejected by the game as invalid.^[6] However, the USB HID specification only permits mouse buttons from 1 to 65535,^[7] meaning that all negative values and the vast majority of the positive values can never actually be assigned to in-game actions without file editing.

Only the first eight mouse buttons can have controls assigned to them.^{[until: JE 26.3]}

On Linux, mouse buttons up to 48^{[upcoming: JE 26.3]} can be specified (evdev key press events 272 to 319) - it is not known if any supported operating systems support a 49th or higher mouse button as input. The maximum mouse button on macOS is 32,^[8] and the maximum mouse button on Windows is 5.

For the first three mouse buttons, the translation keys match the key IDs; all other buttons follow a generic template.

Bedrock Edition

Keyboard codes

This section is missing information about: In the lang files there are translation strings for each translatable keycode that is a shortened version (e.g. PgUp instead of PAGE UP). Figure out if these ever appear in the game and, if they do, add a column for them.

Please expand the section to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page.

This section needs cleanup to comply with the style guide.

^[discuss^]

Please help improve this section. The talk page may contain suggestions.
Reason: for differing operating systems (e.g. things involving the command key), implement something similar to what is seen with the Java Edition keyboard table above: make the key ID span multiple rows (rowspan 2), and have sub-rows per operating system

In Bedrock Edition, keys are stored as the decimal representation of their virtual key code.

Some numbers are skipped because they are reserved or not assigned. By modifying options.txt, you can force the game to show these numbers (prefixed with "Button"), but they are unobtainable by pressing a key.

The virtual key code specification also provides numbers for buttons on the mouse. However, mouse buttons are not stored as those numbers.

History

Java Edition

Java Edition Classic
0.0.23a		Controls can now be customized. Only keyboard buttons are recognised as valid for rebinding.
Java Edition Beta
1.8	Pre-release	Controls can now be bound to mouse buttons; these are handled using negative numbers.
Java Edition
1.12	17w16a	The first three mouse buttons are now displayed as "Left Click", "Right Click" and "Middle Click".
1.13	17w43a	With the updating of LWJGL from 2 to 3 key codes have been entirely redone. For the old values, see Java Edition pre-flattening data values#Key codes, and for what each of them was converted to, see Java Edition Flattening#Key codes.
		The display names of key codes now describes the actual key (e.g. BACKSLASH changed to \).
		The first three mouse buttons are now displayed as "Left Button", "Right Button" and "Middle Button".
		Controls that are not bound to anything now display "Not bound".
		The game now uses GLFW.
		Added translation keys for most key codes, which are only displayed for keys GLFW doesn't return a name for.
	17w45a	Keyboard key codes and their translation keys are now prefixed with `key.keyboard.`.
	17w45a	`key.keyboard.-1` is now used for controls that are not bound to anything.
	17w49a	`key.keyboard.unknown` is now used for controls that are not bound to anything.
	pre4	Keypad keys, excluding the enter key, are no longer prefixed with "Num " - many now look identical to other keys despite being different.
		Letter keys are now displayed in lowercase.
		Controls that are not bound to anything now leave the button blank.
1.19	22w16a	Controls that are not bound to anything now display "Not bound".
1.20	pre2	Letter keys are now displayed in uppercase again.
1.20	pre3	Controls that are not bound to anything now display "Not Bound".
Upcoming Java Edition
26.3	snap4	Valid but undefined key codes have been changed from `scancode.###` to `key.keyboard.###`.
		Removed `key.keyboard.f25`.
		Keypad keys are now prefixed with "Keypad ".
		Keys are only displayed as the internal name that SDL provides if that name is one character long and uses the translation key otherwise.
		Certain keys, such as keypad plus-or-minus, keypad opening bracket and keypad closing bracket, now display the character they represent, despite not being defined key codes in the game.^[9]
		The game now uses SDL3.
		The international backslash key is now recognised as `key.keyboard.world.1` on Windows, rather than `key.keyboard.world.2`.
	snap7	Several new translatable key codes have been added: `key.keyboard.keypad.period` `key.keyboard.keypad.comma` `key.keyboard.keypad.plus.minus` `key.keyboard.keypad.left.parenthesis` `key.keyboard.keypad.right.parenthesis` `key.keyboard.application` `key.keyboard.mute` `key.keyboard.volume.up` `key.keyboard.volume.down` `key.keyboard.media.play.pause` `key.keyboard.stop` `key.keyboard.again` `key.keyboard.undo` `key.keyboard.cut` `key.keyboard.copy` `key.keyboard.paste` `key.keyboard.find` `key.keyboard.help` `key.keyboard.new` `key.keyboard.save`
	snap7	`key.keyboard.left.alt`, `key.keyboard.right.alt`, `key.keyboard.left.win`, and `key.keyboard.right.win` now have different display names depending on the user's operating system.^{[more information needed]}
	snap9	Translatable key codes have been added for all SDL scancodes: `key.keyboard.ac.back` `key.keyboard.ac.bookmarks` `key.keyboard.ac.close` `key.keyboard.ac.exit` `key.keyboard.ac.forward` `key.keyboard.ac.home` `key.keyboard.ac.open` `key.keyboard.ac.print` `key.keyboard.ac.properties` `key.keyboard.ac.refresh` `key.keyboard.ac.search` `key.keyboard.ac.stop` `key.keyboard.alternate.erase` `key.keyboard.call` `key.keyboard.cancel` `key.keyboard.channel.down` `key.keyboard.channel.up` `key.keyboard.clear` `key.keyboard.clear.again` `key.keyboard.crsel` `key.keyboard.currency.subunit` `key.keyboard.currency.unit` `key.keyboard.decimal.separator` `key.keyboard.end.call` `key.keyboard.enter2` `key.keyboard.execute` `key.keyboard.exsel` `key.keyboard.international1` `key.keyboard.international2` `key.keyboard.international3` `key.keyboard.international4` `key.keyboard.international5` `key.keyboard.international6` `key.keyboard.international7` `key.keyboard.international8` `key.keyboard.international9` `key.keyboard.keypad.00` `key.keyboard.keypad.000` `key.keyboard.keypad.a` `key.keyboard.keypad.ampersand` `key.keyboard.keypad.at` `key.keyboard.keypad.b` `key.keyboard.keypad.backspace` `key.keyboard.keypad.binary` `key.keyboard.keypad.c` `key.keyboard.keypad.clear` `key.keyboard.keypad.clear.entry` `key.keyboard.keypad.colon` `key.keyboard.keypad.d` `key.keyboard.keypad.double.ampersand` `key.keyboard.keypad.double.vertical.bar` `key.keyboard.keypad.e` `key.keyboard.keypad.equals.as400` `key.keyboard.keypad.exclamation` `key.keyboard.keypad.f` `key.keyboard.keypad.greater` `key.keyboard.keypad.hash` `key.keyboard.keypad.hexadecimal` `key.keyboard.keypad.left.brace` `key.keyboard.keypad.less` `key.keyboard.keypad.memory.add` `key.keyboard.keypad.memory.clear` `key.keyboard.keypad.memory.divide` `key.keyboard.keypad.memory.multiply` `key.keyboard.keypad.memory.recall` `key.keyboard.keypad.memory.store` `key.keyboard.keypad.memory.subtract` `key.keyboard.keypad.octal` `key.keyboard.keypad.percent` `key.keyboard.keypad.power` `key.keyboard.keypad.right.brace` `key.keyboard.keypad.space` `key.keyboard.keypad.tab` `key.keyboard.keypad.vertical.bar` `key.keyboard.keypad.xor` `key.keyboard.lang1` `key.keyboard.lang2` `key.keyboard.lang3` `key.keyboard.lang4` `key.keyboard.lang5` `key.keyboard.lang6` `key.keyboard.lang7` `key.keyboard.lang8` `key.keyboard.lang9` `key.keyboard.media.eject` `key.keyboard.media.fast.forward` `key.keyboard.media.next.track` `key.keyboard.media.pause` `key.keyboard.media.play` `key.keyboard.media.previous.track` `key.keyboard.media.record` `key.keyboard.media.rewind` `key.keyboard.media.select` `key.keyboard.media.stop` `key.keyboard.mode` `key.keyboard.oper` `key.keyboard.out` `key.keyboard.power` `key.keyboard.prior` `key.keyboard.select` `key.keyboard.separator` `key.keyboard.sleep` `key.keyboard.soft.left` `key.keyboard.soft.right` `key.keyboard.sys.req` `key.keyboard.thousands.separator` `key.keyboard.wake`

Notes

↑ If GLFW returns an internal name, Minecraft will display that name regardless of whether there exists a translation key.^{[until: JE 26.3]}
If the internal name of the key code from SDL is a single character, Minecraft will display that character regardless of whether there exists a translation key.^{[upcoming: JE 26.3]}

↑ The "Settings" key also maps to this on Linux, for some reason: MC-310119
↑ Ostensibly for a twenty-fifth function key, but Windows, Linux and presumably macOS only recognise up to F24. Some keyboards from decades past go past F24, and Arch Linux can apparently recognise up to F246, however it is unknown if Minecraft would recognise either of these.

[internal-name-2] If GLFW returns an internal name, Minecraft will display that name regardless of whether there exists a translation key.^{[until: JE 26.3]}
If the internal name of the key code from SDL is a single character, Minecraft will display that character regardless of whether there exists a translation key.^{[upcoming: JE 26.3]}

[3] Also used by keys unrecognised by SDL3, see MC-310108^{[upcoming: JE 26.3]}

This translation key is typically unused, but may be used with certain keyboard layouts or operating systems.^{[upcoming: JE 26.3]}

[6] vice dependent; this appears on Windows, but it appears as \ on Linux

[8] This appears to be what the international backslash key maps to in Linux, and what the ±/§ key maps to in macOS.^[2] Windows instead uses World 2 for this purpose.

[world-key-translation-9] This translation key could be used with certain keyboard layouts or operating systems.

[10] From 1.13 to 26.2, the international backslash key maps to this on Windows. This no longer appears to be the case as of 26.3, where it uses World 1.

[11] The "Settings" key also maps to this on Linux, for some reason: MC-310119

[12] Ostensibly for a twenty-fifth function key, but Windows, Linux and presumably macOS only recognise up to F24. Some keyboards from decades past go past F24, and Arch Linux can apparently recognise up to F246, however it is unknown if Minecraft would recognise either of these.

[16] Trying to bind anything to the Escape key causes it to become Not Bound instead. This can only be set by modifying options.txt.

[oldkeynumberid-19] Two or three digit number representing operating system key ID

[newkeynumberid-20] Three digit number representing SDL3 key ID

[21] Single-digit numbers must be prefixed with a 0 (e.g. key.keyboard.04) to use the correct key. If the 0 is omitted, it will be treated as its numerical value, because those are the key codes for the numbers.

[25] key.mouse.1 is automatically converted to this^{[more information needed]}

[26] key.mouse.3 is automatically converted to this

[27] key.mouse.2 is automatically converted to this

[28] Displayed the same as the middle mouse button.

[29] Trying to bind anything to the Escape key causes it to become Unassigned instead. This can only be set by modifying options.txt.
