Controlling in All the Mods 10

Controlling is a quality-of-life mod that makes the Key-Bindings menu much easier to use. With a pack this big, you end up with a lot of keybinds, and scrolling through them to find one is a pain. Controlling fixes that.^[1]

What it does

• A search bar lets you find a key binding by its name in the Key-Bindings menu.^[1]
• A button filters the list so it only shows key bindings that conflict with each other, which makes conflicts easier to fix.^[1]
• You can also see which keys are still available to be bound.^[1]

Who it is for

It is for everyone who plays the pack, and it is especially handy if you are setting up your controls for the first time. Once several mods have added their own keybinds, you can search for the one you want and sort out any clashes without hunting through the whole list.^[1]

In this pack

The pack includes Controlling 19.0.5, built for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1. It has been in the pack since version 2.25 or earlier, so it is a long-standing part of the setup.^[2]

It is a client-side convenience for your controls menu. You don't craft anything and you don't need it to progress.^[1]

Unverified The sources do not show Controlling on a progression path or in any quest, so no progression placement is claimed here.

Controlling is a quality-of-life mod that adds a search bar to the Key-Bindings menu. Big packs end up with a lot of keybinds, so this helps you find and fix them quickly. The mod's description only covers that menu, so there is no item to craft first.^[1]

What to do first

1. Open the Key-Bindings menu. This is where the mod's features show up.^[1]
2. Use the search bar to find a keybind by its name instead of scrolling through the whole list.^[1]
3. Use the conflict button to show only the keybinds that clash with each other. This makes conflicts much easier to spot and fix.^[1]
4. Check which keys are still free to bind, so you can assign new keybinds without causing more conflicts.^[1]

Controlling is a Key-Bindings menu tool. The project page describes it as a mod that adds a search bar to that menu. The sources describe no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item handling for it, so there is no tech or automation to set up here.^[1]

What the mod does

Here is what the project page says Controlling adds to the Key-Bindings menu.^[1]

• Search by name: you can search for keybinds using their name in the Key-Bindings menu, which makes a key binding easy to find.^[1]
• Conflict filter: a button that shows only the keybinds that conflict with each other, which makes them easier to fix.^[1]
• Free key view: you can see which keys are available to be bound.^[1]

Using it

The sources only describe features inside the Key-Bindings menu, so that is where you use this mod.^[1]

Controlling doesn't have a tier ladder in this pack that the sources can show. The pack's quest book has a Create chapter with 89 quests, and it is all about Create machines and logistics, from Andesite Alloys up to trains. None of the quests shown for that chapter name this mod, so there is no step in it that leads you to Controlling or builds on it.^[3]

Unverified Whether any quest places this mod, and whether any recipe in the pack produces its items, is not shown in the sources here. 13 of the 89 quests in the Create chapter have no text in these sources, so check the quest book itself for those. Any quest-path placement for the mod is also not confirmed here.

I have to be upfront with you here: none of the quest text I can see for this pack asks you to craft, place or use anything from the Controlling mod. The Create chapter lists 89 quests and none of them have a task that uses an item from its namespace.^[3]

The Ars Nouveau chapter has 130 quests, but only 24 of them are readable here. The ones I can see are about spell books, glyphs, the Scribe's Table and Source Gems, and none of them involve this mod. The other 106 are in the quest book itself, so I can't tell you what they say.^[4]

Controlling has been in the pack for a long time. It was already included by All the Mods 10 2.25 or earlier, so it's one of the long-standing mods in the pack.^[2]

Pack release changes

• All the Mods 10 2.42: Controlling was updated from 19.0.4 to 19.0.5. This is the only Controlling change recorded in the pack changelogs I have.^[5]
• All the Mods 10 8.1: this release ships Controlling 19.0.5, using the NeoForge 1.21.1 build of the mod.^[2]

Unverified What actually changed between Controlling 19.0.4 and 19.0.5 is unverified. There are no stored changelogs for the shipped jars, so I can't say whether the update brought fixes, features or anything else.
