Not Enough Keybinds Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why are the new keybinds not working after installing the mod?
None of the shortcuts added by the mod are assigned by default. You must open your game's controls menu, find the "Not Enough Keybinds" section, and bind keys to the actions manually.
Where do I configure the mod's controls?
Open your game menu, navigate to your standard keybind settings, and scroll until you see the category titled "Not Enough Keybinds". All five new functions are configured directly from that list.
How do I place blocks in mid-air?
Hold a block and press the key you assigned to "Always Place Item" while aiming into empty space. This places the block directly where your crosshair is pointing without requiring a supporting block.
What is the difference between Fast Building and Always Place Item?
"Fast Building" lets you place blocks against surfaces without any placement delay. In contrast, "Always Place Item" bypasses surface requirements entirely so you can place blocks anywhere you point, including open air.
How does Fast Block Breaking work?
Activating the "Fast Block Breaking" keybind breaks target blocks instantly without having to wait through the standard breaking animation. This allows you to rapidly clear terrain and structures.
Do I need an ender pearl in my hotbar to use the pearl keybind?
No, you do not need it in your hotbar or active hand. Pressing the "Throw Ender Pearl" keybind will instantly throw an ender pearl as long as you have one anywhere in your inventory.
How does the off-hand swap keybind work?
The "Switch Totem and Shield" keybind automatically exchanges the item currently held in your off-hand with the corresponding Totem or shield stored in your inventory. This lets you alternate between defense and emergency survival without opening your inventory screen.
Why does pressing the Switch Totem and Shield keybind do nothing?
The shortcut requires you to have both items available across your off-hand and inventory. If you are holding a shield, you must have a Totem in your inventory to swap it with, and vice versa.
Why won't the Throw Ender Pearl keybind throw anything?
This shortcut only works if you have at least one ender pearl stored in your inventory. Check your inventory slots to ensure you haven't run out of pearls, and confirm the key is assigned in your controls.
Can I use Fast Building to lay down blocks continuously?
Yes, "Fast Building" removes the default delay between block placements. As long as you aim at valid surfaces while the action is active, blocks will place smoothly and rapidly as your crosshair moves.
