Yet Another Keystrokes Overlay

Yet Another Keystrokes Overlay (YAKO)

YAKO is a design-focused keystrokes overlay for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Fabric). It shows your WASD, mouse buttons, sneak, jump, and sprint inputs — fully customizable to match your layout and visual preferences.

From rounded and transparent strokes to sound profiles and profile switching, YAKO is built with flexibility and user experience in mind.
