Minecraft:Debug hotkey

File:Debug controls.png

The list of debug keybinds as shown in-game under Template:UI.

A debug hotkey (or key binding in game) is used to access hidden information and trigger advanced settings in the game through Template:Keys, where key is usually a letter (A–Z), or just a single Template:Key, which is used to open the Minecraft:debug screen. When Template:Key is used as a modifier for debug hotkey combination, the debug screen is not opened (or closed if enabled).

The list for debug hotkeys can be viewed and changed under the "Debug" section of Template:UI.

Some debug hotkeys may be disabled by Template:Gmr game rule.
