Hytale Controls Guide: All PC Keybinds (Keyboard and Mouse)

If you're a Minecraft fan, you should feel right at home in Hytale. Not only because of the long-forgotten temples and being able to trade with NPCs, but the controls are very similar as well. Placing blocks, moving through your hotbar, sprinting, walking, and smacking vile critters on the head are all available to you. While each action has a keybind by default, you can jump into the game's settings to rebind the controls however you please. You can also alter whether or not your keybindings for crouching, sprinting, and walking need to be held or function as a toggle. Finally, keep in mind that, at this point, Hytale does not have controller support. Here is the full list of PC keybinds for Hytale:
