Command Binds
by CardeJIbka
Command Binds lets a player map any keyboard key to a chat message or a server command, so one keypress sends the text without typing it.
What it does
Each bind pairs a key with a chat line. A line that begins with a slash is sent as a command, with the slash removed and the rest passed through the command channel automatically. Any other line is sent as a regular chat message. Keys are stored by their GLFW key code values.
Binds are set up in a graphical screen opened with the V key, which can be rebound in the Controls settings. The screen shows a scrollable list of existing binds, with color-coded badges: green for a command and gray for a plain message. Entries can be edited or deleted directly from the list. A config file can also be edited through the mods menu, and the mod works in both singleplayer and multiplayer.
Command Binds runs on Fabric and is a client-side only mod, so only the player's game needs it and a server can run without it. The code is open source under the MIT License. Files are published for Fabric across 15 release versions, 1.21 – 26.1.2, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 26.1.2.
Key features
One-key chat messages
A bound key sends its chat message with a single keypress, with no typing needed.
One-key commands
A bound key runs a command with a single keypress, since a leading slash marks the line as a command.
Graphical bind editor
A clean in-game screen lists every bind, so binds are added, edited and deleted without touching files.
Color-coded list
Each entry carries a green badge for commands and a gray badge for plain messages, making the list simple to scan.
