Defaulted Hotkeys Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Set Up Your Controls Once
Defaulted Hotkeys Mod lets you set default hotkeys for any keybind in the game. When you first launch Minecraft with this mod, it automatically creates a file named default-hotkeys.json in your config folder. You can then edit this file to customize all your keybinds.

Features:
- Set a default hotkey for any keybinding in the game.
- Automatically generates a configuration file on the first game launch.
- Allows you to manage all default keybinds by editing the
default-hotkeys.jsonfile.

- Run Minecraft at least once with the mod installed. This will create the configuration file.
- Go to your
.minecraft/configfolder and open thedefault-hotkeys.jsonfile. - Edit the file to set up your desired default hotkeys using the correct format.
The file uses a simple structure for each keybind:

//translation in current language
"translation": "Advancements",
//hotkey in vanilla format
"key": "key.keyboard.l"
}
]
