Secondary Click: Extra Mouse Keybinds for Minecraft
Every Minecraft player knows the rhythm: hold left click to mine, hold right click to place, repeat until your finger aches. Secondary Click is a small Fabric mod that fixes this in the simplest way possible. It lets you bind the left and right click actions to any key on your keyboard, so you can hold a key and let the game spam that action for you. If you have ever wished your attack or use button lived somewhere more comfortable, this mod was made for you.
What Does Secondary Click Do?
The idea behind Secondary Click is refreshingly straightforward. Minecraft already lets you rebind attack and use to keyboard keys, and when you hold such a key, the game repeatedly triggers the action. This mod takes that same behavior and adds a second set of keybinds dedicated to left and right click. In practice, you get two extra slots in your controls menu, and both can be assigned to literally any key on your keyboard.
When you hold down a bound key, the game spams that action just like a normal held attack or use bind. That means you can keep your mouse free for aiming while a keyboard key handles the clicking. It is a tiny quality-of-life change, but once you try it, going back feels strange.
Why Players Use It
- Comfort: move repetitive clicking away from your mouse hand.
- Consistency: keep attacking or placing while your cursor stays steady.
- Accessibility: helpful for players who find prolonged mouse clicking uncomfortable.
- Simplicity: no complex configuration, just two new keybind options.
Supported Versions and Loader
Secondary Click is built for Fabric, the lightweight mod loader that has become a favorite for performance-minded players. It targets modern Minecraft releases, including the 1.20.x and 1.21.x branches, and typically tracks updates shortly after Mojang ships a new patch. Because it is a Fabric mod, you will need Fabric Loader and Fabric API installed before adding it to your mods folder. If you run a vanilla client or a different loader, this mod will not load, so double-check your setup first.
One thing worth knowing: the mod only adds keybinds, so it plays nicely alongside optimization mods, shaders, and most other Fabric add-ons. Conflicts are rare, which makes it an easy pick for almost any modpack built on Fabric.
How to Install Secondary Click
Getting the mod running takes only a few minutes. Here is the standard process for a Fabric installation:
- Install Fabric Loader for your Minecraft version using the official installer.
- Place Fabric API in your mods folder, since many Fabric mods depend on it.
- Download Secondary Click for Minecraft from a trusted mod hosting page, choosing the file that matches your game version.
- Drop the downloaded .jar file into your mods folder, located in your Minecraft directory.
- Launch the game through the Fabric profile and confirm the mod appears in your mod list.
Once in-game, open Options, then Controls, then Key Binds. Scroll to the gameplay section and you will find the new entries for the secondary attack and use actions. Assign whatever keys feel natural, save, and test them in a safe area before heading into a survival world.
If you prefer a smoother route, the foxygame.net launcher handles the fiddly parts for you: it bundles a curated add-on catalog where Secondary Click sits alongside its required dependencies, and it keeps everything updated automatically as new Minecraft versions roll out. That means no manual jar shuffling and far fewer version-mismatch headaches.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of It
Pick keys your fingers already rest near, such as a side mouse button alternative on the keyboard or a key beside your movement hand. Avoid binding both actions to the same key, since that creates confusing behavior. If you play on a server, remember that some anti-cheat systems treat automated clicking harshly, so use the mod responsibly and check server rules before relying on it in competitive modes.
Final Thoughts
Secondary Click is one of those mods that does one job and does it well. It adds secondary keybinds for left and right click, lets you hold any key to spam those actions, and stays out of the way the rest of the time. For Fabric players on modern Minecraft versions, it is a free, lightweight upgrade to your controls. Download Secondary Click, bind a couple of comfortable keys, and let your mouse hand finally relax.
