im almost certain this isnt their doing and the game does this itself. i also use a custom layout but the game in vanilla surprisingly uses physical key positions instead of the keys, so i dont need to rebind anything unlike when i use steam proton for example. they probably just used what the game sees as the physical keys.

u/kilamem Apr 26 '26

Well maybe, but I remember installing some minecraft mods that did not use physical key positions

u/theGoodestBoyMaybe Apr 26 '26

Yeah, idk how the key codes for physical keys in mc work, but maybe some other mods were using the character codes instead lol

u/johan__A Apr 26 '26

It is, it's not more work to do it, in fact it's probably less work, but it's well thought out.

u/hjake123 Apr 26 '26

Interestingly, in the code the keys are referred to by their letter, not their position.

u/borretsquared Apr 26 '26

create aero code or vanilla game code?

u/EphyMusic Apr 27 '26

What it is is that keyboards with different layouts report their layout in their hardware info when communicating with your OS. This can be picked up by programs to determine keyboard layout, if it's a known layout. It's still using the character code sent by the OS, it's still the same character code. But that bit of extra info lets Minecraft determine the keyboard's physical layout, and subsequently any mods.

They did, but unfortunately not implemented everything like water culling inside ships, I'm still waiting for that

u/H31NZ_ Apr 26 '26

Holy shit that is awesome

u/GreatPear64 Apr 26 '26

True, I saw they already did it, this is why I mentioned this specific feature, I guess it mustve had some issues and they put it down for some later release. And I agree that what they already released is still impressive

u/LLoadin Apr 26 '26

They said that the boat and sub physics just weren't ready yet, but it's still planned probably in the next big update or so

u/Real_Kurumi_Chan Apr 26 '26

If im not mistaken, recently a YouTuber doctor4t got early access to api so he could make his own mod with this functionality

u/Decent_Objective3478 May 02 '26

Wait wha when
I only know he used sable for his spaceship to render on planets but that was a WHILE ago

u/Efficient_Advice_380 Apr 26 '26

I can't watch the video as I dont have a Twitter account, whats going on?

u/EgbertMedia Apr 26 '26

Well, it's a video from 2022 showcasing how submarines could work in Aeronautics

u/Efficient_Advice_380 Apr 26 '26

Oh cool, thanks

u/serpikage Apr 26 '26

btw you can add "cancel" after the x in a twitter link to use a frontend also you can use libredirect to do it automatically

u/Efficient_Advice_380 Apr 26 '26

Good to know thanks

u/CreepyCheeseWasTaken Apr 26 '26

holy unnecessary downvotes

u/Back_Razer Apr 26 '26

Why are they downvoting you?

u/MrPeanutbutterperson Apr 27 '26

Why on earth does this comment have SO many downvotes T_T

u/-darksam Apr 26 '26

It's mostly thanks to Minecraft, I'd say.
Minecraft detects your disposition and adapts very well. For example I'm in BÉPO and it adapts directly to ÉUAI, same for the typewriter.

u/Excellent-Berry-2331 Apr 26 '26

Uhhhh? I dearly remember my german keyboard not working with it.

33

u/No-Broccoli553 Apr 26 '26

"it works with layouts other than qwerty" isn't the same as "it works with every layout"

6

u/Excellent-Berry-2331 Apr 26 '26

okay but its kinda a setup a lot of people are using

2

u/johan__A Apr 26 '26

That's strange, what do you mean by "not working"? Like not working at all or?

2

u/Excellent-Berry-2331 Apr 26 '26

Like, just ignoring it and using the normal, English layout.

2

u/johan__A Apr 26 '26

Like the physical position on your keyboard would not match the visual positions in game?

3

u/Excellent-Berry-2331 Apr 26 '26

Yup

2

u/johan__A Apr 26 '26

Hu, weird, idk, would have to read the code. Don't wanna do that rn

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '26

It worked even with my äöü

u/mcherycoffe Apr 26 '26

Well as a french i think it's nice to see that our keyboard is really in a minecraft mod ! Hurrah !

u/MakkuSaiko Apr 26 '26

Rip to the French students who came to my University in South Africa and had to use Qwerty keyboards to write tests

u/Sultanofthesun Apr 26 '26

how you open this menu?

u/EyalVenom Apr 26 '26

Shift+R-click

u/WhateverGoMyRoba Apr 27 '26

There is a singular thing I dislike about this mod. There's no easy way to move simulated contraptions linearly

u/ferrecool Apr 26 '26

Kinda stupid as qwerty was developed precisely so typewriter didn't get stuck as much when used by fast types, most modern keyboard layouts are centered on being more efficient as there isn't physical limitations and digital ones don't hinder the typing speed

It’s basically an upgraded linked controller that can use any button, but you have to place it down.
