Minecraft is an open world survival game with great and fun gameplay. Do you know this fantastic game!? If so, you will agree with me that there are endless Minecraft keyboard shortcuts that we can use.
Things could be tedious at first. Especially if we have never played this game before, and we don’t know how to put or add commands in Minecraft. We will use the commands and access keys even for the most basic; such as doing TP or teleportation in Minecraft.
So, to help you with that, in this article we will talk a little about the hotkeys in Minecraft and also, we will teach you useful combinations and shortcuts so that you can enjoy this incredible survival game to the fullest.
Hotkeys with the keyboard in Minecraft
It is known as hotkeys, those that when pressed perform a special action, display a menu or make a unique combination within the game.
In Minecraft there are different hotkeys, that is why, next, we will show you what some hotkeys are and what function they fulfill.
ESC key, this is used to open the player menu. In this menu we can access the game options, properties, statistics, etc. It is also very useful to exit from any dropdown menu such as chat, inventory, among others.
F1 key, with this key we can see the HUD of things. You may be wondering what is the HUD? Well the answer is quite simple, the HUD is the silhouette of things. For example, if we see a billboard, the HUD will display the square silhouette of the billboard.
F2 key, allows you to make automatic captures of the game. Just by pressing this key you can create an image in png format.
F3 key, allows us to see general information about the game, for example, what version of Minecraft we are using, how many FPS the game is at, if we are connected to the internet it shows us the speed or MS of the game.
Shift + F3 key, shows the general information of the game, but with graphics incorporated. It is basically the same function as F3, only it contains extra information and with a graph.
F3 + Q key, this is the most important key of all, since a list of commands will be displayed in the chat that allows us to see everything we can do with the F3 key.
F5 key, used to change the player’s view from first person to third person. Pressing this key will help us see the skin of our character.
Combinations and shortcuts
When we talk about combinations in Minecraft, we refer to the use of the key and mouse for a specific action. So next you will learn the most basic and some advanced.
Right click of the mouse, when pressing a material in our inventory we can select it. But if we hold down the right click and drag the material to the empty spaces, it is divided in half until it reaches one, for example: 64 wood, 32 wood, 16 wood.
Shift Key + Right Click, is used to throw all the same objects in the inventory. Example, if I have 4 spaces in the inventory of 64 earth cubes, I press this combination and when I throw them on the X icon, the 4 earth cube spaces disappear.
Another vital combination is the following; we select a material and then we open our crafting table. There we place the material in the center and right click on the recipe; We can automatically see the things that are made with that material and the position to create it.
Thanks to the keyboard shortcut in Minecraft, you’re all covered. We can even see the coordinates in Minecraft to know our location. Of course, sometimes we will have external problems; Maybe we should solve problems with the sound of Minecraft, or we have lag, among others. But for everything there is a solution.
