I am thinking about potential Forum Rules for Mechaenetia Mods

So here the question, what kind of Modpack would add more than a dozen Keybinds and expect people to actually remember those? In the end they go into the Controls Menu regardless just to remember those weird Keybinds that they didnt assign themselves.

I have one of those Mice. Though I prefer my Logitech G502 over my Corsair Scimitar due to lack of Onboard Memory on the latter.

And more importantly, Controllers and MMO Mice have a more limited number of Buttons to assign compared to a Keyboard, meaning if you make Keybinds Mandatory you are going to basically kill Support for those Devices entirely with your Modpack.

So what kind of Keybinds do you expect people to add in Mods? I could understand the Numbers Bar for quick access to certain Slots/Items, but that’s something the User has to decide. There is already a ton of Controls added by Default, which should cover most of the cases that Mods would want to add a Keybind for.

I am saying this and asking these questions mostly because I hate Mandatory Physical Input Control Layouts with a passion and would love if they were gone, and more simplified to a condensed set of important Controls that people can actually remember.
