Controls

You should take time to familiarize yourself with the controls of the game. Keep in mind these are the default values and not match any custom settings. All of the current controls and hotkeys can be seen and edited by pressing Esc and then clicking on options. You can change your keybinds, as well as assign keybinds for things like increasing or decreasing the game brightness (very useful during the nighttime when you don't have a torch). Also, if you have a keyboard that does not have a numpad, you should change your 'zoom in button' for the map. You can open the map with m, and it shows you your global coordinates and position in the region you are in (marked by red x).
