Change an Action or Hotbar Binding
- Open Game Menu and select Options.
- Select Controls to open Key Binds.
- Click the current key beside the action you want to change, then press the new key. Scroll down to find Inventory and Hotbar Slot bindings.
- Select Done when finished. To restore an individual binding, use its Reset button.
For example, you can assign F to Hotbar Slot 6 and C to Slot 7 as personal bindings. Both keys already have default uses, so consider the conflicts before keeping them.
Handle Duplicate Keys and Toggle Sprint
A duplicate binding appears in red. For example, assigning F to Hotbar Slot 6 while Swap Item With Offhand still uses F makes both F entries red. Assigning C to Slot 7 also overlaps with the default zoom key. Choose different keys for actions you want to control separately, or use Reset beside an action to restore its binding.
At the top of Key Binds, set Sprint: Toggle to ON to sprint without holding the sprint key. Sneak has its own Toggle setting, so you can choose its behavior separately.
