Where to find the keybind settings

Open Survivalcraft 2 and go to the main menu. Select Settings, then look for Controls or Keyboard — the exact label depends on your version. This is where all your key assignments live. You do not need to restart the game or edit any files by hand.

If you are already in a world, pause the game by pressing Esc, then navigate to Settings from the pause menu. The controls menu works the same way whether you access it from the main menu or during gameplay.

Key Takeaways

  • Keybind settings are in Settings > Controls on the main menu or pause screen.
  • Click or tap the action you want to rebind, then press the key you want to use instead.
  • Common actions like move forward, jump, and place block all have their own rebindable slots.
  • Changes save automatically when you confirm them, and you can reset to defaults if a rebind causes problems.

How to rebind a single key

In the Controls menu, you will see a list of actions: Move Forward, Move Back, Move Left, Move Right, Jump, Place Block, Break Block, and others. Each action shows the key currently assigned to it.

Click on the action you want to change. A prompt will appear asking you to press the new key. Press the key on your keyboard that you want to use. The game records it immediately and returns you to the controls list. The old key is now unbound from that action.

Repeat this for each key you want to change. There is no limit to how many you can rebind in one session.

What happens if two actions share the same key

Survivalcraft 2 allows you to assign the same key to multiple actions. This can cause confusion during gameplay — for example, if both Jump and Place Block are set to Space, pressing Space will do both at once, or the game will prioritize one over the other depending on context.

If you accidentally create a conflict, go back to Controls and reassign one of the overlapping actions to a different key. The game does not warn you or prevent duplicates, so you have to catch and fix them yourself.

Resetting keybinds to the default layout

Most versions of Survivalcraft 2 include a Reset to Defaults button in the Controls menu. If you have made changes you want to undo, click this button and confirm. All keys return to their original assignments immediately.

If you do not see a reset button, your version may not have one. In that case, write down the default layout (Move Forward = W, Move Back = S, Move Left = A, Move Right = D, Jump = Space, Place Block = Left Mouse Button, Break Block = Right Mouse Button) and rebind each action manually.

Common keybind layouts for PC survival games

The default layout in Survivalcraft 2 matches most other PC survival games: WASD for movement, Space for jump, and mouse buttons for block interaction. Many players keep this layout because it is familiar and leaves the right hand free for the mouse.

Some players rebind Jump to a side mouse button or Shift to free up Space for a hotbar slot. Others move movement keys to the numpad or arrow keys if they prefer a different hand position. There is no "correct" layout — use whatever feels natural to you.

Troubleshooting keybind problems

If a key does not seem to work after you rebind it, check that no other action is using the same key. Open Controls again and search the list for duplicates. If you find one, reassign the conflicting action.

If the game ignores a key entirely, it may be a key your keyboard or operating system reserves for system functions. Try a different key. Some laptops, for example, reserve function keys (F1–F12) for brightness or volume control, and the game may not be able to override that.

If changes do not stick after you close and reopen the game, your save file may be corrupted or the game may not have permission to write settings. Try resetting to defaults, then rebinding one key at a time and saving the world before closing. If the problem persists, reinstall the game.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a controller instead of a keyboard?

Survivalcraft 2 on PC supports keyboard and mouse only in most versions. Controller support is not built in. If you want to use a controller, you can use third-party software like Joy2Key or Xpadder to map controller buttons to keyboard keys, but this is a workaround, not an official feature.

Do keybind changes carry over to new worlds?

Yes. Keybind settings are stored in your game profile, not in individual worlds. Any changes you make in Controls apply to all worlds you play in that profile.

What if I want different keybinds for different worlds?

Survivalcraft 2 does not support per-world keybind profiles. All worlds in the same game profile use the same controls. If you need different layouts, you would have to create separate game profiles or manually rebind keys each time you switch worlds.

Can I bind a key to multiple actions at once?

Technically yes — the game allows duplicate key assignments. But this usually causes problems because the game has to choose which action to perform. It is better to use one key per action.
