Better /help

Better /help replaces the vanilla help command with a paginated list of commands that can be browsed page by page. Each entry can show hover details and be clicked to move between pages, and the help output autocompletes the way typing a command does. Most vanilla commands get descriptions for their arguments, and other mods can attach their own descriptions and metadata such as homepage links through language files alone.

The mod scans the installed mods and their translation keys when the server starts, and translations are resolved on the server side. A description written for a command can come from another mod, so players see it when they use that mod's command. Command descriptions are added through language files such as assets lang en us.json, using the mod id and command name in the key. Omitting the mod id prefix is recommended, because translation keys from different mods can otherwise conflict.

Better /help is a server-side mod: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API on Fabric, and the NeoForge build runs with no further dependency. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge, covering game versions 26.1 – 26.3, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source.
