search your key bindings
Controlling is a quality of life mod created by jaredlll08. It adds a search bar directly to the key-bindings menu.
In standard Minecraft, every key binding appears in one long list. When you install additional mods, that list grows very long. Finding a specific command takes a lot of scrolling. You often have to scan through dozens of entries just to locate one action. Key-bindings menus can get unmanageable in large mod packs. But this mod fixes that specific problem without changing the rest of your interface.
This mod puts a search box right on the key-bindings screen. You type the name of the binding you want, and the list filters down immediately. So it helps you find what you need without manual searching. You spend less time looking through menus and more time playing the game. It's a straightforward tool that does one specific job.
who this mod is for
If you play with mods, you know how cluttered the controls screen can get. Many mod packs add dozens of custom hotkeys and commands.
Controlling fits anyone who wants a faster way to handle settings. So it is categorized under Utility and Quality of Life on Modrinth. If you adjust your keybinds, this search tool saves you time. You can jump straight to the binding you want instead of scrolling past controls you do not need.
technical setup and requirements
Controlling is required on the client side. You must install it on your own game instance to use the search bar. Server side installation is unsupported. That means you don't add it to a dedicated multiplayer server.
The mod supports two major loaders. You can run it on Fabric or Neoforge. Honestly, pick the loader that matches your setup.
For game versions, the project lists support for Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2. Make sure you run one of these exact versions.
