Administrator Panel
by Darkfire030
Administrator Panel is a Forge utility for 1.20.1 that opens a button panel with gamemode, time and tool shortcuts for testing and server work.
What it does
Pressing O opens a GUI with buttons grouped into sections. Each button runs a single function: one switches the player into spectator mode, and a button under the Gamemodes section grants a permanent Night Vision effect. Other buttons appear under Tools, where One-Tap Stick and Fullbright sit next to the death-related options.
The author built the panel to make it easier to test different mods and server features without typing commands for each change. It is aimed at single-player testing and at server owners who want fast access to common settings while debugging. Builds are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Forge is the only loader it supports, and no required dependencies are listed.
Key features
Keyboard-opened panel
Pressing O opens a GUI of buttons, each assigned to one specific function.
Sectioned buttons
Buttons are arranged in labeled sections such as Gamemodes and Tools so related actions stay together.
Quick gamemode switch
A button switches the player into spectator mode in one click, without a command.
Permanent night vision
A Gamemodes button applies a lasting Night Vision effect, so the dark is no obstacle while testing.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Debugging a modpack
A developer toggles gamemodes and tools from the panel between test runs instead of retyping commands.
Server administration
A server owner reaches frequently used settings from one screen while watching play.
Who it’s for: Mod developers, modpack testers and administrators who run Forge servers on Minecraft 1.20.1 and want quick access to gamemode and tool buttons without typing commands.
How it compares
Fast commands is also client and server, but it is released under All rights reserved and lists 1.20.1 only. Utils++ is different: it runs on the server alone, uses the MIT License and covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.2, so players join without installing it. Spectator Quick Switch is a client-side Fabric and Forge mod under the MIT License for 1.18.2 – 1.20.4, and it is open source, which Administrator Panel is not.

What the author says
This is a mod I made because it makes it very easy to be able to test out different things in mods and on servers. It adds a GUI that you can open by pressing "O" and there are going to be different buttons which do different functions and each button is labeled under a different section. For example, a button that…
