Where to find the keybind settings in Survivalcraft 2

Open Survivalcraft 2 and go to the main menu. Look for the Settings option — it is usually near the bottom of the menu alongside other options like "About" or "Exit". Once you are in Settings, find and select Controls. This is where all your keyboard and mouse bindings live.

The Controls menu shows every action in the game paired with its current key. Actions are grouped by category — movement, building, inventory, and so on. You will see the key name displayed next to each action. This is the screen where you make all your changes.

Key Takeaways

  • Keybind settings are in the main menu under Settings, then Controls.
  • Click on any action to see its current key, then press the new key you want to use.
  • You can bind the same key to multiple actions, but the game will only use the most recently bound one.
  • Changes save automatically when you close the Controls menu and return to the main menu.
  • If you get stuck, you can reset all keybinds to the default layout from within the Controls menu.

How to rebind a single key

Click on the action you want to change. For example, if you want to move forward with a different key than W, click on the "Forward" action. A prompt will appear asking you to press the new key you want to use.

Press the key on your keyboard. The game will register it when ready and show the new key name in the list. If you change your mind before pressing anything, you can press Escape to cancel and keep the old binding.

Repeat this for each action you want to change. There is no limit to how many you can rebind in one session — just go through the list and click each one you want to modify.

What happens if you bind the same key to two actions

Survivalcraft 2 allows you to assign the same key to more than one action. When you do this, the game will only respond to whichever action you bound most recently. The older binding becomes inactive.

For example, if you bind both "Jump" and "Sprint" to the spacebar, only the most recent one will work when you press spacebar. This is usually not what you want, so check your bindings carefully as you go. If you accidentally create a duplicate, just click on one of the conflicting actions and bind it to a different key.

Resetting keybinds to the default layout

If you have made many changes and want to start over, look for a Reset to Default button or option within the Controls menu. The exact name varies slightly depending on your game version, but it is always clearly labeled and straightforward to find.

Click it, and all your custom bindings will be erased and replaced with the factory defaults. This is useful if you have experimented with many changes and lost track of what you changed, or if you want to return to the standard layout after trying a custom setup.

Common keys people rebind and why

Many players change their movement keys from WASD to ESDF or IJKL to match a different typing position or gaming style. Some rebind the inventory key from I to something closer to the movement cluster, like E or Tab, so they do not have to reach as far.

Sprint and crouch are also frequently rebound — some players prefer these on mouse buttons if their mouse has extra buttons, or on keys like Shift or Ctrl that feel more natural to their hand position. Building and destruction keys (usually left and right mouse button by default) are sometimes moved to keyboard keys if you want to use a controller or have accessibility needs.

There is no "best" setup — it depends entirely on your hands, your keyboard, and what feels comfortable during long play sessions. Experiment and change your bindings as often as you need to find what works for you.

Saving and loading your keybind setup

Survivalcraft 2 saves your keybind changes automatically. When you close the Controls menu and return to the main menu, your new bindings are stored. The next time you start the game, your custom layout will be there waiting for you.

The game does not have a built-in feature to export or share your keybind setup with other players, or to save multiple different layouts. You have one active keybind configuration per game installation. If you want to try a completely different setup, you will need to manually rebind everything again, or use the Reset to Default option and start fresh.

Troubleshooting keybind problems

If a key you pressed did not register or the binding did not save, close the Controls menu completely and reopen it. Sometimes the display does not update when ready. Check that the key you wanted actually appears in the list.

If a key refuses to bind at all, it may be reserved by your operating system or another program running in the background. Try a different key. Some keys like Windows or Alt+Tab cannot be rebound in most games because the operating system intercepts them first.

If you bind a key and it does not work in-game, make sure you are not accidentally holding down a modifier key like Shift or Ctrl. Also check that you did not accidentally bind the same key to a different action that takes priority. Use the Reset to Default option if you are unsure what you changed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a controller instead of keyboard keybinds?

Survivalcraft 2 on PC is primarily designed for keyboard and mouse. The game does not have built-in controller support or a way to rebind controller buttons through the Settings menu. If you want to use a controller, you would need to use third-party software like Steam Input or a controller mapping tool, which is outside the game itself.

Do my keybinds carry over if I reinstall the game?

No. Your keybinds are stored in the game's local files on your computer. If you uninstall and reinstall Survivalcraft 2, you will lose your custom bindings and return to the defaults. If you want to keep your setup, write down your bindings before uninstalling, or back up your game folder if you know where it is stored.

What if I want different keybinds for different worlds?

Survivalcraft 2 does not support per-world keybind profiles. You have one keybind setup for the entire game, regardless of which world you are playing. If you want to use different bindings for different playstyles, you would need to manually rebind everything each time you switch.

Can I bind mouse buttons to actions?

By default, left and right mouse buttons are bound to destruction and building. You can rebind other actions to mouse buttons if your mouse has extra buttons (like side buttons or a thumb button). Click the action, then press the mouse button you want to use. Not all mice have extra buttons, so this option may not be available to you.

Why does my keybind feel delayed or laggy?

Keybind delay is usually not caused by the rebinding itself, but by your computer's performance or keyboard response time. Make sure your game is running at a smooth frame rate. If you are using a wireless keyboard, try a wired one to rule out connection lag. If the delay happens with every key, it is likely a performance issue rather than a keybind problem.
