Better Command
Better Command adds a set of administrator and player commands that cover time, weather, god mode, flight, inventory access, portable crafting and a few playful effects.
What it does
Commands in the mod fall into several groups. World administration commands control time and weather. Player utilities toggle god mode and flight, and repair held items. Inventory commands clear a player's inventory or look into another player's inventory. A portable crafting command opens a crafting grid without needing a crafting table block. A final group adds fun commands, such as lightning strikes and controlled explosions.
The mod targets survival, creative and server administration, where a set of ready-made commands can replace some manual steps. It is published for Fabric and Forge, with files covering 1.7.10 – 1.21.11 across 25 release versions. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. Fabric's latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.16.5, and Forge's is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11.
Key features
World administration
Simple commands set the time of day and the weather, so the world state can be adjusted without editing files.
Player utilities
Commands toggle god mode and fly mode, and repair items, giving an administrator quick control over a player.
Inventory management
Commands clear a player's inventory or inspect another player's inventory, which is useful for moderation.
Portable crafting

Special effects
Commands summon lightning strikes and launch controlled explosions for playful scenes and events.
