clientgive
by PyPylia
clientgive is a Fabric utility that lets a player spawn an item in Creative mode from a chat command, without leaving the game.
What it does
The mod provides a single client-side command that places an item in the player's inventory while Creative mode is active. Running the command without arguments gives one of the item held in the main hand, and adding a number gives that amount instead. The count is limited to a range from 1 up to 64, so one command never exceeds a single stack.
Because the code runs only on the client, a server does not need the mod and a player can join a server that does not have it installed. Installation is done with the Fabric installer: obtain it, run it, and select the Minecraft version and the Fabric loader. The mod does not work with the vanilla launcher alone, so Fabric has to be set up first.
Files are published for Fabric only, for the two game versions 1.18 and 1.18.1, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.18.1, released on 2022-01-14. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Item spawning in Creative
A command adds an item to the inventory while the player is in Creative mode, so the item does not have to be found or crafted.
Default and custom amounts
Without arguments the command gives one item, and an optional number sets how many are added.
Count limit
The amount is clamped between 1 and 64, which keeps each command within a single stack.
Client-side operation
The command runs on the player's client alone, so it works on singleplayer worlds and on servers that lack the mod.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who play in Creative mode on Fabric and want a quick way to add items to their inventory. It is also useful for people building or testing structures on 1.18 or 1.18.1.
How it compares
Client Side Give is a Fabric mod with the same purpose, client-side only and under the MIT License, but its files cover 1.21.4 – 26.3 rather than the 1.18 versions clientgive targets. PerplexedClientUtils is also Fabric and client-side only under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, so it is a utility bundle rather than a single give command. Colorizer is a Fabric client-side mod under the MIT License, published only for 1.21.8.
