Configurable controls[]
These are controls that the user is free to modify as they see fit.
By default, the mouse cursor automatically vanishes when you enter the game, and there is no way to exit or access the game menu in order to switch between game modes, access settings, exit the game, or carry out other actions. I’ll give you a thorough explanation of how to access the game menu in Minecraft in this article, which you’ll find to be very helpful.
Because it’s the only way to access the game menu, we’ll be using the Minecraft keyboard shortcuts for this tutorial.
Legacy Versions[]
These versions have either been discontinued or long forgotten about. However, their controls are documented here for historical purposes.
The Pi Edition has fixed controls that cannot be altered.
