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.
How to Use:
- 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:
[
{

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