Keyboard Movement Toggle

Loving this game so far, but one thing I'd love to see is the ability to toggle between the default mouse controls for movement and WASD/arrow key movement controls.

    jeez its been just over a year and this is still the most upvoted request

    yet its not in the game

    Mojang, if you ever decide to make a big update add WASD controls

    because those controls will be what revives the game and gets people on pc interested in it

    Seriously, everybody wants it! Why isn't WASD movement control a thing??? It would make the game so much better. Dodging would be easier, it would be so much easier on my hand, and it's just kind of annoying for any normal Minecraft players who are used to using WASD... Please Mojang, we need this.

    My friends refuse to play this game due to mouse movement, and they said: If the we can move our character by WSAD and then we would love to play with you

    I know it has been said many times but it would feel so much more comfortable to be able to use WASD for movement and have the mouse exclusively for attacking and interacting

    We Really need this. Now with the game on Steam aswell, it would be the best update for Minecraft Dungeons if they added this simple and tiny thing.

    I'm commenting here hopefully for a change. I know that something simple isn't always so when implementing movement in a video game taking consideration for directional activation of spells, items, models etc. However, this "simple" change for keybinding WASD movement would greatly be beneficial for PC players in addition to point and click (PAC) movement. This has been done on many titles, and as someone who is an avid Diablo player I find it to be easier and more comfortable to move without making clicking errors or straining to attack while moving. games like diablo have the ability to move with WASD and PAC which allow players to comfortable play for hours with friends while grinding for their favorite gear or experiencing the story. I'm all for this proposal to bring WASD movement into the game either through a patch or DLC.

    Please Mojang, I need the WASD control for movement. My wrist starts to hurt after using the mouse for moving and aiming.

    I agree, add WSAD movement, I feel like I am fighting with my character with the mouse because when I attack my character will walk right in front of the enemy and get hit instead of allowing me to move freely and use the weapons range to attack and avoid being hit..

    If I had looked up the lack of keybind control options for movement beforehand, I would not have bothered purchasing for PC.

    Can't believe this hasn't been implemented yet. It really should have been WASD for movement and mouse for where your character looks and attacks (Mouse1 for Attack, Mouse2 for Arrows). I understand it'd be much harder to move certain terrain with WASD but we should have atleast gotten that as an option.

    Also for some reason I can't melee attack without any enemies near me, that is very unintuitive as that means we can't prepare an attack in advance and always have to enter a mobs danger zone. 

    ALSO, Mouse4 (right thumb button) causes my character to roll. Why? It's my PTT button so everytime I press it I accidentally roll. Which means I can't talk while channeling things.

    I thought Minecraft dungeon should add wasd movement keys because the left key of the mouse is already used for attack , so i thought when you press the left key , the character will attack to the direction that it is facing . And the movement key should become wasd . That may make the control easier and many of my friend said it is hard to move and dodge while there are a lot of mobs there , the character will move to the position of a mob and it will repeat and repeat , so wasd movement key is much easier for many of us to play.

    It could be very useful, but if we do that, we would must use (I don't know how it's called because I'm French) the "controller" add you must use on java to turn the head, because of we don't, we would always have to move with W,A,S and D...

    I downloaded Minecraft Dungeons for PC after playing it on Xbox for a long period of time, the reason for this was because I had hoped to gain accuracy by using a mouse rather than a joystick, with the use of WASD controls for directional movement. The sad thing is, they do not have WASD movement implemented within the game, and you have to use your mouse to move. The reason this is a large issue is that using your mouse to point and click while also using it to melee attack is generally uncomfortable and awkward, and the accuracy of the mouse is immediately reduced when it needs to do both aiming and moving. I really hope they change this, but looking at how long it's been since the community has voiced for WASD movement I feel it won't be happening.

    It would be awesome to have keyboard movement instead of point and click movement

    it's been 4 years and the outcry is still as big as back then

     

    I'd love to finally finish the game but the lack of WASD controls is what stops me from doing so

     

    Please Mojang, give us what we ask for, that's what feedback is MADE FOR

    Wow over 4 years later and still not implemented. Sad to see. WASD movement and arrow for attack aiming would've been better.

    This would be great right now considering the happy ghast requiring the forward key constantly being held.

    i loved this game when i played it on ps5 with a controller but now that i'm playing it on pc i HATE it so much, the point and click movement system was the DUMBEST thing that the minecraft dungeons developers could have ever decided to do, everything else about the game is fine i just don't understand why wasd isn't the movement or at least a movement option. i love this game and want to play it but not having wasd for movement is infuriating.

    With the announcement of MCDungeons II coming in Fall of 2026 I'm really hoping they implement this.. but I'm not getting my hopes up. :/
