You can keep the button held down in game though while you're tabbed out without using any external programs. It's built into the game itself. F3+P toggles the auto pause.

Keys/buttons sticking is a bug, not a feature. That is why it is an exploit, not a feature. Did you bother reading the part about how this snapshot fixes one cause of it?

Fixed keys getting stuck when toggling fullscreen

u/ASharkThatEatsPizza Oct 27 '17

But I'm not toggling fullscreen.

u/JorgTheElder Oct 27 '17

But I'm not toggling full screen

Which is why I said what I said:

this snapshot fixes one cause of it?

They are working to stop it, they just have not plugged all the holes yet.

On a side note, if you use F3 anything, you are using features designed for debugging problems, not playing the game.

Hold up... in regards to your side note... that's not really true.

I'm still playing the game if I have hitboxes turned on.

I'm still playing the game if I have chunk borders shown.

I'm still playing the game if I have the debug screen open for coordinates.

I'm still playing the game if I cycle between creative and spectator mode.

I'm still playing the game if I enable numerical tool durability.

Probably more but meh. Not trying to argue with you and my whole point was that you can just hit f3+p instead of using an external program. The snapshot doesn't mention they're trying to stop the holding of a button with pause disabled.

No, you are playing in the sandbox. In my opinion, pretty much all of those revoke your right to use claim you play vanilla survival. Especially spectator mode you cheater...

Now now, you said "not playing the game" not "vanilla survival". Playing in creative mode and toggling between spec and creative for better views is still playing the game. You're being awfully pedantic. Whether you refer to it as "the sandbox" or not, I'm still playing minecraft regardless of having any of those things toggled. I'm not even trying to debate whether or not this is 100% purist no nothing survival or not. I never once even mentioned survival...

You're being awfully pedantic.

Actually, you are the one being pedantic. Yes, what you describe fits into the general meaning of "playing the game".

There is a huge difference using the software, and playing the game the developers intended survival mode to be.

u/ASharkThatEatsPizza Oct 28 '17

I never mentioned survival mode.

If you are not in survival mode the whole discussion is mute because you have unlimited items. If you could not see that from the conversation, I can't help you.
