Legacy Commands

by Mr_irak

Legacy Commands restores removed command syntax for Forge servers on Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, so older command blocks and maps keep working.

ForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

Several commands removed in later Minecraft versions come back under their earlier syntax. Classic target selectors accept the older argument set, and the mod keeps earlier command behavior wherever it can. Legacy numeric block item IDs are accepted, and the old gamemode values 0, 1 and 2 work as they did before.

Enchantment level limits set by vanilla are bypassed, so commands can apply levels above the usual cap. Because the syntax matches older releases, old command block creations and adventure maps are intended to run without rewriting their commands. The mod is installed on the server alone, and players join without it. It targets Forge only, with release files under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Restored commands

    Multiple commands removed from newer Minecraft versions return with their earlier syntax.

  2. Classic selector arguments

    Selectors accept the older argument set, including short forms for nearest, random and entity-count filters.

  3. Legacy block IDs and gamemodes

    Numeric block item IDs and the classic gamemode values 0, 1 and 2 are read the way older versions read them.

  4. Enchantment cap bypass

    Commands can apply enchantment levels beyond the limits vanilla enforces.

How it compares

Full comparison

Utility Commands is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with a client and server environment, under All rights reserved and not open source. Craftable Command Block is also Forge-only for 1.20.1, but it is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is not open source. Syd's Simple Commands is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is optional on either side, and it is not open source. Legacy Commands differs by covering a wider version range and by restoring legacy syntax rather than adding new commands.
