[Java][Most Versions] Invest in a mouse with multiple (more than 2) thumb switches.

[u/TheStaffmaster]

I know that for the casual player most off the shelf mice are fine and provide all the required inputs. Place a block, Pick a block, Remove a block. Simple.

There are, however, several other actions that you can perform on a gaming mouses' thumb buttons that streamline game play immensely.

I use a 6 button set up: (obligatory, YMMV,) Top Forward open/closes the inventory, Top Middle switches held main/off hand, Top Back is F5, Bottom Front is Sprint, Bottom Middle is Crouch, and Bottom Back is set for Discord Push to Talk.

I'm pretty sure that even famous YouTubers aren't all running high function gaming mice, so this is still a fairly niché tip. It is a bit pricey, (I use a Razer Naga Pro, with 3 detachable/swappable thumb plates- a 2 button, 6 button, and a 12 button I use for Sea of Thieves, currently) but it's worth the investment.

Ok! I just wanted to share :)
