This update has made significant simplifications to the controls for playing the game. Now the designation of hotkeys and mouse actions has taken the upcoming controller support into considerations, and removed most of the use of qualifier keys.

Now the controls are supported as the following:

Compared with the previous releases, the main changes are the following:

  • A new Advanced Mode is supported and can be toggled by the Caps Lock key. Now item variants can be selected with mouse wheel in the advanced mode, instead of in combination with the ALT key. A few advanced making and mining actions are now supported in this mode instead of using qualifier keys;

  • The hotkeys for T rading and dropping (T hrow away) items are now supported by a single T key. If the key is pressed when aiming at a villager, it will be a trading action, otherwise it will be considered as a dropping action;

  • Now the mounting and dismount (on/off a ridable or vehicle) action is now supported the same with the jump action, such that a single jump while aiming at a horse (with a saddle) or a vehicle will mount the player on them, and double jumps will dismount from them;

  • Now mounting an object onto a crafting platform is supported with the C key instead of the M key;

A few additional control changes that can be easily discovered by players without causing issues will not be mentioned here.

Besides the changes to the controls, a few minor improvements and fixings are also included. In particular, the joint stability and robustness has been improved for robotic joint items, making objects built with these items can move more stably.
