Executable Commands Items
by jeffrom
Executable Commands Items, or ECI, lets a player create custom items that each run a server command when used, and hands those items out to other players.
What it does
Items created with the eci create command are bound to a command. When a player uses one, the stored command runs. Created items can be given to a player with eci give player and removed with eci delete, and they stay saved so they persist after a restart. Any server command can be stored, including commands added by other mods or plugins that register their own commands.
Commands can run as the player who used the item, in which case that player's permissions apply, or they can be changed to run from the console when the author wants the command to bypass player permissions. The mod is built on Fabric and needs Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for its configuration screen. It is client and server, so the server must run it and the client needs it as well. It is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, and is not open source; the code is under All rights reserved.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits server owners and administrators who want items that trigger commands, and players who receive such items through a server. Players on a server without the mod can still join it, but the client side needs the mod to be installed for the items to work.
