Controls

Nytheria ships its own key defaults, and a key that several mods want opens a radial wheel instead of dropping one of them. This page lists the keys as the pack sets them on a fresh install, so you can find any action and the key behind it. It is the reference for the Quality-of-Life Mods page, which describes what the helper mods do.

If you changed a key yourself, your own choice stays. The pack only applies its value to keys you never touched, and a later pack update only reaches keys that are still untouched.

How to read this page#

The tables give the default key, the action and the mod. None means the action exists but has no key; bind one in Options > Controls > Key Binds if you want it. Controlling adds a search field to that screen, so you can type an action or a key instead of scrolling. Mod settings screens open through Mod Menu.

Key names follow the American layout. If your keyboard differs, see Keyboard layouts near the end.

The keys you need first#

Polybind wheels#

Minecraft lets only one action win a key, so when two mods want the same key one of them stops working. Polybind removes that limit. Every key that carries two or more actions is in one of three modes, and the pack default is the wheel.

1. Hold the key for a moment (the wheel opens after 180 milliseconds).
2. Move the mouse to the action you want and release the key. Only that action fires.
3. A quick tap from now on repeats your last pick without showing the wheel. A key you never picked on opens the wheel straight away.

A wheel shows up to eight segments per page. Scroll to change the page, press a number key from 1 to 8 to pick a segment, and press Esc or the right mouse button to cancel. Polybind remembers your pick for each key.

A wheel key behaves like "all fire" whenever no wheel can be shown: a screen is open, you are not in a world, or fewer than two actions are left on the key. Keys that carry a hold action never open a wheel by themselves. In the pack these are attack, use, the four walking keys, jump, sneak and sprint, so Space, Left Shift and Left Ctrl fire both of their actions together.

To change a mode, or to untick an action you do not want on a wheel, open the Polybind... button in the Key Binds screen, type /polybind, or bind the "Open Polybind" key (it has no key by default). The screen lists every shared key.

The H ability key#

H is the shared ability key of the pack. Sixteen actions sit on it, and it opens the Polybind wheel on hold. Tap it to repeat your last pick. This is why a boss-gear ability or an artifact toggle has no key of its own in the Key Binds list: it is on H.

L_Ender's Cataclysm and Astral Dimension run through Sporran; see L_Ender's Cataclysm Bosses for the gear. The storage highlight is described on Storage Networks.

L and the journal#

L opens the journal, the story screen of the quest book, and the journal then opens the quest book at the right chapter. The journal also has a tab in your inventory. Enter skips a conversation line while one is on screen. Both keys can be rebound in the QuestBridge category. See The Journal for what the screen holds.

The pack also ships the quest mod's own "Open Quests" action on L. QuestBridge unbinds that one once, at a later game start, so that L belongs to the journal alone.

Shared keys at a glance#

These are the keys that carry more than one action in the fresh install.

The middle mouse button works as a wheel in the world and fires every action while a screen is open, so inside an inventory it picks the block under the cursor and sorts together. That follows from the Polybind rules and has not been tested in play: your first middle click in the world might open a small wheel.

Mining, building and carrying#

The shape-cycling keys of Ultimine itself ("next shape" and "previous shape") have no key. The pack sets Ultimine to mine at most 32 blocks at a time, and FallingTree fells up to 150 logs; both are described on Mining & Everyday Tools.

The Ultimine key#

The pack puts Ultimine on the key that Minecraft lists as "World 2". That is the extra key on ISO keyboards, left of the Y or Z key (on a German keyboard it is the < key). American keyboards have no such key.

Combat and equipment#

The weapons themselves use the mouse buttons. Better Combat and Simply Swords add their extra actions without a default key.

Inventory, sorting and recipes#

Sorting sits on the middle mouse button: a plain click sorts in creative order, Shift by quantity, Ctrl alphabetically and Alt by raw id. Several mods answer to the same button, which is why it is a shared key above. Mouse Tweaks adds drag and scroll tweaks and needs no key. Inventory Essentials adds bulk transfers; its exact modifier keys are listed in the mod's own help.

The recipe viewer EMI keeps its keys in its own config and not in the Controls screen:

Other keys: G cycles the tab of a tooltip (Simply Tooltips) and F10 opens the Presence Footsteps settings. The "Cycle Tooltip Tab" key only matters for tooltips that have several tabs.

Maps, teams and voice chat#

Maps are explained on Maps & Navigation, and parties and claims on Claims & Parties.

Simple Voice Chat puts its menu, group, settings, volume, mute, disable and hide-icons actions on the / wheel. If you use push to talk, bind a key of your own for it in Key Binds, because a wheel pick is a single press and cannot be held. Voice chat is covered in Multiplayer.

Just Zoom uses C (hold) to zoom, and mouse side buttons 9 and 10 zoom in and out. Those two buttons are therefore not free for other uses.

Dimension gear and other keys#

Keyboard layouts#

Key ids in the pack follow US key positions. The game shows the label of your own layout in the Controls screen. These translations come from the naming of the input library and were not tested on a German keyboard.

Letters, digits, F-keys, arrows, Enter and Tab are the same on both layouts, apart from Y and Z. The right Alt key of a German keyboard is AltGr.

Unbound by default#

Some actions exist but have no default key. Bind any of them in Key Binds. The more useful ones are the accessories screen, the Better Combat feint, the Simply Swords weapon abilities, the Ultimine shape keys, the backpack upgrade toggles, the Jade overlay toggles, Mod Menu, the inventory restock and dump actions, Entity Culling and Dynamic FPS toggles, and the vanilla smooth camera and spectator outline.

Notes#

• The pack applies its keys through Polybind on the first launch and keeps a one-time backup of your old options as options.txt.polybind-backup.
• Undo and redo in the build mod are on Z and Y. Whether Ctrl must be held was not confirmed, and the exact modifier combinations of Inventory Essentials were not confirmed either.
• Jade has no key by default in this pack.
• Earlier versions of this wiki listed keys for Litematica. Litematica is not installed in the pack, so those keys are gone.
