Lost Keys

Lost Keys

This modification allows administrators to temporarily rebind game keys for other players directly from the server, creating fun and unexpected situations in the game.

Server Commands

The mod adds a powerful server command /lost_keys:override <player> <binding> <key> that temporarily changes the controls for the specified player until their next login.

For example, executing /lost_keys:override Steve key.forward key.keyboard.b will force Steve to walk forward by pressing B instead of the usual W. Keys can even be replaced with other game functions - /lost_keys:override Steve key.drop key.forward will make the player drop items every time they move forward.

For the key parameter, you can use special values: default to restore standard settings, none to disable the function, or pressed to force action activation.

You can modify controls for individual functions or all at once: by specifying all instead of a specific action, an administrator can clear all rebinds (/lost_keys:override <player> all default), disable all keys (/lost_keys:override <player> all none), or create total chaos by assigning everything to one key.

Also available is a command for binding keys to server commands: /lost_keys:bind_command <player> <binding> <command>. For example, /lost_Keys:bind_command @s key.forward say Hello! will make the player say hello with every movement. Important: commands are executed on the client side, so operator privileges are not transferred.

Client Commands

For convenience, two client commands have been added: /lost_keys:lognext shows the name of the next pressed key and its bound action, while /lost_keys:list displays all active key rebinds.

Compatibility Features

Not all keys in Minecraft work correctly with this system, however all main control functions (movement, attack, item usage) are fully supported. Some specialized keys may not respond to all types of rebinding.

Plugin Version

The lost_keys.override permission is required to work with individual players. Important: commands only work with specific player names or the @a selector - @p and @s are not supported. Similar restrictions apply to the /lost_Keys:bind_command command with the lost_keys.bind_command permission.

The modification should be installed on both the server and all clients, although its absence on one side doesn't cause game crashes.
