 Minecraft handles user input from peripherals such as the keyboard & mouse using key-binds. When you press W your character moves forward, and when you press E your inventory opens. Every keybind can also be configured with the settings menu, so you can make your player move with arrow keys instead of WASD if you so desire. Minecraft handles user input from peripherals such as the keyboard & mouse using key-binds.

-If you want a sticky key, add ''() -> true'' as last parameter.+On versions older than 1.21.9, you would substitute your KeyMapping.Category for the translation key of the keybinding's category, e.g. "category.examplemod.test"

 +Sticky keys can also be created with ''KeyBindingHelper''. In vanilla, the sneak and sprint keys act as sticky keys when they are set to 'Sneak: Toggle' and 'Sprint: Toggle' respectively. If a key binding should always act as a sticky key, then pass ''() -> true'' as the final parameter.
      
 ''GLFW.GLFW_KEY_R'' can be replaced with whatever key you want the binding to default to. The category is related to how the keybinding is grouped in the settings page. ''GLFW.GLFW_KEY_R'' can be replaced with whatever key you want the binding to default to.
