Description

Simpler keybinds

A radial menu system for triggering keybinds without needing a free key for each one. Designed for heavily modded packs (e.g. Create, Botania, etc.) where you run out of keyboard space.

Works with any mod that registers standard keybinds, since actions are dispatched directly to the keybind rather than through simulated key input.

How it works

Press the open key (default: R) to bring up a radial wheel. Move your mouse into one of the four quadrants and release R (or left-click) to fire that slot's assigned action. The action is triggered directly — it does not simulate a keypress, so it works even if the underlying action has no key bound.

You can configure up to 3 wheels, each with 4 slots (top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left, top-left).

Controls

Key Action
R Open / close the radial wheel
Move mouse Highlight a quadrant
Release R or left-click Fire the highlighted slot
1 / 2 / 3 Switch between wheels while open
C Open the config screen while the wheel is open
ESC Close without firing

Configuring your binds

  1. Press R to open the wheel, then C to open the config screen (or bind a separate config key in Controls).
  2. Click a slot (Top-Right, Bottom-Right, Bottom-Left, Top-Left) to select it.
  3. A list of all registered keybinds appears on the right — includes vanilla and all mod keybinds. Click one to assign it.
  4. Optionally type a custom display name in the text box that appears below the slot. If left blank the binding's own name is shown on the wheel.
  5. Press Del to clear a slot's binding.
  6. Press ESC to go back to the wheel.

Changes save automatically to your config folder.

Compatibility

Fabric: 1.20.4, 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.11, 26.1–26.1.2, 26.2. Requires Java 21.

NeoForge: 1.21.1, 1.21.5, 1.21.8, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.2. Requires Java 21 (1.21.x) or Java 25 (26.1+). The 26.2 build depends on a beta NeoForge release, since no stable NeoForge build exists for that version yet.

Forge: 1.8.9–1.20.6. Requires Java 8 (1.8.9–1.16.5) or Java 17 (1.17–1.20.6). Grab the file for your exact version — Modrinth's compatibility detection covers the full range even though each file targets one anchor version internally.

Not supported: versions before 1.8.9 on Forge, or 26.3+ on Fabric/NeoForge (Mojang replaced GLFW with SDL3 that version).

Grab the file matching your Minecraft version and mod loader from the versions list.
