Command alias maker
Command alias maker lets a player define a short chat command that runs a longer one, with arguments passed through.
What it does
Players create a new alias with a single command, then type the alias name in chat to have the stored command executed at once. Arguments typed after the alias name are carried into the command it runs, so one alias can cover many variations. The mod requires Fabric API and is published only for Fabric, with 18 release versions covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
Command alias maker runs on the client alone, so a player can use it on a single-player world or on a server without installing anything on the server side. The author states that the tool was tested on builds 1.20.1 – 1.21.6, and the latest Fabric file, 1.0.3, targets 1.21.11 and was published on 2025-08-30. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.
Installing the mod means adding Fabric API next to it. The first public release was made on 2024-10-25, and the author keeps an issue tracker for bug reports.
Key features
Alias creation
A new alias is added with one command, and it is stored for later use in chat.
Instant execution
Typing an alias name in chat runs the stored command immediately, without retyping it.
Argument passing
Text entered after the alias name is forwarded to the command the alias runs.
Chat-based workflow
Aliases are created and used from the chat box, so no separate screen or menu is needed.

Use cases
Shortening long commands
A player who often types a long command with the same options can store it under a short name.
Repeated actions with changes
Arguments let one alias handle several targets or values, so the same shortcut serves different cases.
Who it’s for: Players who run many commands in chat and want short names for them. The mod is client-side only, so it suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers that the player joins without a server-side install.
