Hotkey Chat Messages

by vqke

Hotkey Chat Messages lets a player bind up to ten chat messages or commands to keys, so a line sent often takes one press.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.10 – 1.21.11

What it does

Each of the ten presets can hold a chat message or a command, and a press on the matching numpad key from 1 to 9, or 0, sends it. The H key opens the in-game config screen where presets are edited, and the key bindings can be changed like any other control. Messages starting with a slash are sent as commands, so server commands such as home or tpa receiver work the same way as ordinary chat.

Presets can contain dynamic variables, which are replaced with real-time game data when the message is sent. Examples include the player's coordinates, the dimension, and health with maximum health, so a message can report where the player is or how the character is doing. The mod can be opened from Mod Menu and works with it as an integration, giving players a settings entry there. Hotkey Chat Messages is client-side only, so the server does not need it, and it requires Fabric API on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric alone, for 1.21.10 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, which is not open source.

Key features

    Ten presets hold frequently used messages or commands, each bound to its own key.

  2. Numpad bindings

    Keys 1 to 9 and 0 on the numeric keypad send the matching preset in one press.

  3. Dynamic variables

    Placeholders in a message are filled with live game data, such as coordinates, dimension and health, at the moment it is sent.

  4. In-game config screen

    The H key opens a screen where presets can be written and rebound without editing files.
