ChatZLE

by SakuraNyan

ChatZLE brings zsh-style command-line editing to the Minecraft chat box, with inline history suggestions and a searchable command history.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.11

What it does

Typing in chat gives inline suggestions drawn from earlier commands, ranked by prefix match, frequency and recency. Ctrl-R opens a fuzzy reverse search, and the Up and Down keys step through history by the text already typed. Command history is persistent, deduplicated and kept separately per server, with a default that leaves credential-like commands out of storage.

Editing follows zsh's line editor: characters and words can be moved over, a kill ring stores cut text for yank and yank-pop, and Alt-. inserts the last argument of the previous command. Short forms such as gms can expand to full commands like gamemode survival. History suggestions stay visible when vanilla Brigadier completion is open, so both kinds of help can appear at once.

The mod runs on the client alone. It is published for Fabric only, with a single build, 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, released on 2026-07-30. It needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Inline history suggestions

    Suggestions appear as the chat line is typed, ranked by prefix match, frequency and recency.

  2. Fuzzy reverse search

    Ctrl-R searches earlier commands with fuzzy matching, so a partial remembered command is enough to find it.

  3. Kill ring and yanking

    Cut text is kept in a ring that yank and yank-pop cycle through, as in zsh.

  4. Command abbreviations

    Short forms such as gms expand to full commands like gamemode survival as they are typed.

Questions

Does ChatZLE need to be installed on the server?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Which dependencies does ChatZLE require?

Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are required. Both must be installed alongside ChatZLE on Fabric 1.21.11.

What the author says

Bring zsh/ZLE-style command-line editing to Minecraft chat. ChatZLE history suggestions can remain visible while the vanilla Brigadier completion popup is open.
