Can I disable Command-Q on a Mac in Minecraft?

Arqade Asked by 65_7a on January 18, 2021

The quickest way to drop full stacks of items in Minecraft (on a Mac) is to use Command-Q. But that keyboard shortcut is already set by Apple to quit the application. Is there a way to disable Command-Q to quit in Minecraft? I don’t want to change the drop item keybind.

Mac likes to be annoying when it comes to game shortcuts, but you can override the Command-Q shortcut to use Minecraft's method of dropping items by using Ctrl-Command-Q. If you want to learn more about Minecraft shortcuts you can check out this website.

There is now way that you can turn off the Mac Command-Q. So you will need to change it in Minecraft to different keys.

If you'd like to, you can remap it globally at the system level under Preferences -> Keyboard -> Accessibility. This answer has suggestions ranging from setting Cmd + Q as the shortcut for "invert colors" to "do not disturb".

Of course, this will change it for all apps though, and you'll still have Cmd + Option + Q for Force Quit, but that's obviously harder to accidentally do.

There's actually a forge mod for Minecraft called "Patcher" that allows you to change the drop modifier key in controls. I changed the drop modifier key to option and it worked fine.
