{{MC/Missing information|Bedrock Edition keycodes for both keyboard and controller}}
{{MC/Split|Key codes/Before 1.13|reason=probably would make more sense to document historical stuff on a dedicated page so it isn't mistaken for present-day information. alternatively, it could go on the Flattening's page since it too is a series of changed IDs}}
This is a list of '''key codes''' used by ''Minecraft'', which are used in configuration files such as the options.txt file in the Minecraft directory.{{MC/Info needed|and where else?}}

==== Mouse codes ====
LWJGL supports a maximum of 16 mouse buttons.{{MC/Verify|according to MC-266231, even the modern game only supports up to button 8. there were issues with binding that caused some buttons to be interpreted as higher than they were, but GLFW only seems to support eight mouse buttons.}} The Minecraft game settings screen translates button 0 to "Button 1", button 1 to "Button 2", et cetera.
