Command GUI Buttons
by MSDNicrosoft
With Command GUI Buttons, a player can place a clickable button on the screen that sends chat messages or runs commands such as warp or home.
What it does
The mod lets players create their own command buttons on the client, without a server-side plugin. Each button has a name and a command, and can send several commands or chat messages in a set order when pressed. Command GUI Buttons stores the list of commands as serialized JSON on the local system, writes new commands to that file when a button is created, and loads the file again at the next start.
With the G key pressed in-game, the menu opens, where a name and a command can be entered and saved as a new button. A plus button adds new entries, and the buttons can be searched by name, with case-sensitive matching. Buttons appear on the screen whenever the player wants them, and there is no limit on how many can be created.
Installation needs Fabric API. Command GUI Buttons is client-side only, so the server does not need it. Files exist for Fabric and Quilt across 32 release versions, 1.16 – 1.21.11, and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, making the project open source.

Use cases
Common server shortcuts
A button can send commands such as warp or home, so frequent actions take one click instead of typing.
Who it’s for: Players who use the same chat commands often on a server or in single-player, and who want them available from the screen.
