Why Backspace is used for menu navigation

Minecraft reserves Escape for its own pause and interface behavior. DoomCraft maps Backspace to the Doom menu escape action while TV controls are captured.

Compact keyboards

Some compact, laptop, and Mac keyboards do not provide dedicated Insert, Home, or End keys.

Recommended solution:

1. open Minecraft controls;
2. locate the DoomCraft category;
3. assign convenient unused keys;
4. check modpack conflicts before testing.

Control focus

DoomCraft forwards controls only when:

• a supported WAD session exists;
• the player is close enough to the active TV;
• the TV is not broken;
• input focus has been captured.

Press Insert again before interacting normally with Minecraft.
