KeyItems

by Saturnyx

KeyItems lets players bind a key to a slash command, so a chosen item can be given with one press of a key.

What it does

KeyItems is a Fabric mod for the 1.21.5 and 1.21.7 game versions. Players set keybindings that run slash commands, and the command is written without the leading slash symbol. An example binding gives the player an ender pearl with the command give s minecraft:ender pearl. A keybinding is made of a modifier key (alt, ctrl or another key) and a primary key, which is a single letter from the alphabet. The mod remembers the chosen keycodes between sessions.

The client needs the mod to read keypresses and send commands. A server can run without it, because the bindings live on the player's side. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, and its source code is public. Files exist for 1.21.5 and 1.21.7, with version 0.3.0 as the latest Fabric build for 1.21.7.

Key features

  1. Keybindings for commands

    Each binding runs a chosen slash command when the keys are pressed, so frequent commands need no typing.

  2. Command without the slash

    Commands are entered without the leading slash symbol, which keeps the setup short.

  3. Modifier and primary keys

    A binding combines a modifier key such as alt or ctrl with a primary letter key, which limits accidental presses.

  4. Remembered settings

    The chosen keycodes are stored, so bindings are still in place the next time the game starts.
