Ever installed a dozen mods only to find your controls screen overflowing with keybinds you'll never use? Hide Key Binding Mod solves that clutter by letting you hide any shortcut you don't need — and it actually disables them too, so no more accidental commands mid-game. With over 2.4 million downloads on Modrinth, this lightweight utility has become a go-to pick for modpack creators and players who like a clean setup.
Key Features
- Hide unused shortcuts — Remove any keybind from the controls menu so it stops cluttering your settings screen.
- Prevent hidden shortcuts from activating — Hidden keybinds are fully disabled, not just visually removed, which means no accidental triggers during gameplay.
- Restore original settings instantly — Unhide a shortcut and it returns to its original key assignment without any manual reconfiguration.
