Mine Enter
by flowerinsnow
Mine Enter lets players bind a second key to open the chat bar, for those used to two Enter keys from older versions.
What it does
Since newer versions of Minecraft, only one Enter key binding opens chat by default. Players who learned the game with two Enter keys can find this uncomfortable. Mine Enter lets a second key be bound to open the chat bar, so both habits work. The mod runs on the Fabric loader only and needs Fabric API. Only the client needs it, and it can be left out of a server install. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. Builds cover 1.18 – 1.21.1, with 5.4.0-beta.1 as the latest Fabric file for 1.21.1, and snapshot builds are published.
Key features
Second chat key
Binds an additional key that opens the chat bar alongside the default Enter binding.
Key binding control
The extra key is set through the standard Minecraft controls screen, like other key bindings.
Client-only install
Changes only the client-side controls, so multiplayer servers need nothing extra installed.

What the author says
Since in higher versions of Minecraft, only one Enter key can be bind to "Open Chat", but some players are accustomed to using two Enter keys that can open the chat bar, which makes them uncomfortable, so this Mod was developed.
