These keyboard and mouse controls can be changed in the “Change Keys” menu.

W: Move forwards
A: Move to the left
D: Move to the right
S: Move backwards
J: Toggle fast mode (requires “fast” privilege)
K: Toggle fly mode (requires “fly” privilege)
H: Toggle noclip mode, only works if fly mode is also on (requires “noclip” privilege)
E: Walk fast (only works if fast mode is on)

Space: Jump
Shift: Walk slower and sneak (walking to the edge of a node without risking falling down)

Left mouse button: Attack; mine blocks; collect items
Right mouse button: Use if applicable (e.g. open chest/furnace); build blocks otherwise
Shift+Right mouse button: Build blocks; never use
Mouse wheel: Select block/item in hotbar
0-9: Select block/item in hotbar
Q: Drop entire wielded itemstack
Shift+Q: Drop single item of wielded itemstack
I: Show/hide inventory menu

R: Toggle far view (disables all fog and allows viewing far away, may cause massive FPS drop)
F10: open/close console/chat log
F12: Take a screenshot (as a PNG image)
P: Write current stacktraces into the file “debug.txt”. This feature is only interesting for developers.

These controls can be changed using minetest.conf settings.

Moving the mouse around: Look around
F1: Show/hide HUD
F2: Show/hide chat and the text “Minetest” along with the version number at the upper left part of the screen
F3: Enable/disable fog
F4: Enable/disable camera updates. Note: This key works only in debugging versions of Minetest, or by editing minetest.conf. Normal players don't need this feature.
F5: Enable/disable debug screen which also shows your coordinates
F6: Enable/disable profiler (only interesting for developers)
F7: Toggle camera. Available are (in this order): first person view, third person view from the back, third person view from the front
F8: Toggle cinematic mode. In cinematic mode, the camera will not immediately follow your movements, instead it will quickly “catch on”, so the movement of the camera looks a bit like the movement of an actual camera.
Esc: In the game: Abort / close current window / open pause menu. In the main menu: Quit Minetest.
+ (numpad): Increase minimal viewing distance
- (numpad): Decrease minimal viewing distance
