Minecraft controls issue

HaedHutner · 2016-04-25 09:12:57

Ok, so I've been running Arch for the last couple of weeks and so far I've been enjoying my experience. I've managed to fix most of the issues I've had with compatibility and what not, but this here I really have no idea about.

The issue is as follows:
I install the base version of the game. No mods, no nothing, just Minecraft 1.9.2 Vanilla. I get on, I make a world and my character literally can't move. WASD doesn't do anything, I can't access the in-game console/chat with T or / and who knows how many other controls don't work.

I can jump, though. Spacebar works fine, Shift crouches as expected and mouse controls seem to be fully working ( I can look around, break stuff, use food, etc. ) Escape brings me to the options menu and the hotkeys work fine as well.

I figured out that if I rebind the keys, I can get partial control back. When I rebind WASD, I can sort of start moving, but then when I release the corresponding key, my character doesn't stop moving. Just keeps going until I press another movement key, at which point he stops and I once again lose the ability to move.

I wish I had some sort of log to provide, but from what I can tell there are no errors being reported. Minecraft doesn't crash at all.

I've switched between jre7 and jre8, but that had no effect whatsoever. I've tried a different keyboard, that didn't do anything either. Besides, I have a keyboard/mouse wireless combo with a single connection point, so if the issue was in the connection between the keyboard and the PC, the mouse should have issues as well ( at least that's my reasoning ).

I hope someone here has had a similar issue like this before, because I'd like to fix this.

Thank you for your time :)

is it only in minecraft?

If it weren't a system error did you try switching the keyboard?

Hello there,

I discovered this behavior a long time ago, but I can't remember how I solved it.

On KDE, I cannot move inside the game, even though the keyboard seems to work fine, didn't test it with other DEs so far, any suggestions?
Is somebody there who can reproduce?

Exactly the same problem here.

Just in case you want to keep track of my thread:

Movement works just fine for me with KDE and MC 1.10.2 (with a German keyboard). Maybe this is a keyboard mapping issue? Are any other keys working for you in MC?

Actually yes, there are certain keys that aren't working, and there are some which do, I found another thread related to my problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1662128 it seems to be reproducible. I use a "eu" keyboard layout. And I can remap the movement keys to other keys, which works well, however, I'd like to use wasd.

Merged.

Alrighty,

this seems to be a configuration issue, removing ~/.local and ~/.config does solve this problem.
The OP abandoned this thread, can anyone mark as "solved"?

I have seen in some instances issues with certain keyboard layouts, as it seems the game (generally) expects a querty layout. As far as I know this is an issue with the libraries that are used to run the game (LWJGL). Changing layouts has been known to be the quick fix.
