ControlCommands
by Joshi203
ControlCommands lets players trigger keyboard and mouse actions through Minecraft commands, so movement, combat and inventory steps can run without pressing the matching keys.
What it does
The mod registers client-side commands that map to many vanilla controls. Movement commands cover stepping in four directions, jumping, crouching and running, while combat commands cover striking, digging, using items and interacting with blocks or entities. Camera, hotbar and perspective commands are included as well, for looking around, selecting a slot or switching the view. Inventory commands cover opening the inventory, dropping an item or a full stack, and swapping hands. Menu and screen commands open chat, screens and other interfaces, and a screenshot command is included.
Some actions behave like held keys. Walking, crouching, running, digging and using keep going after the command is entered until a stop command ends them, while one-time actions such as jumping fire once. The mod is useful for accessibility setups, voice-driven control, automated testing and custom maps that need repeatable input. It is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.11, and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it.

How it compares
Hotbar Swap Mod is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, under All rights reserved and not open source, and it covers hotbar switching only. Simple Hotbar Switcher is an MIT-licensed open source Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that can run on a client or a server, while hotbarLock is an open source Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, aimed at keeping the hotbar fixed. ControlCommands covers far more of the keyboard and mouse than any of these.

The mod lets you trigger many actions that are normally controlled with your keyboard or mouse directly through Minecraft commands.
