What are "good keybinds" for PvP in Minecraft?

Keys that players can reach instantly when something unforeseen happens are good keybinds or hotkeys. Players should choose their keybinds according to their keyboards as the spacing between switches is different for many keyboards.

The majority of the gamers prefer having a 60% keyboard as it has very low spacing between the keys.

If the player has played many FPS games in the past, they might prefer keybinds such as 'C' or 'R' keybinds as they are quite commonly used for basic tasks in those games.

Usually, keys that are very close to the W, A, S, and D keys are preferred. However, players with larger sized hands may find other keys more comfortable.

What do Minecraft players need hotkeys for?

Apart from the usual movement keybinds that are best set to default, players should have a keybind for the slot in which they keep their weapon.

This will help them quickly switch to their sword or any other weapon when an opponent suddenly attacks them or appears on the screen.

Having a hotkey for more slots that players can instantly press will help use other items such as potions and food items when in a 1v1 situation.

Once the player has found the keys they are comfortable with, they need to work on building their muscle memory. No one can instantly become accustomed to their new hotkeys right after setting them.
