Not Enough Buttons
by Lesoorub
Not Enough Buttons gives players a customizable grid of chat buttons, each bound to a message or command that is sent with one click.
What it does
Instead of retyping identical commands over and over, a player builds the button panel one time and afterward sends the needed text in one mouse click while playing. An edit mode is opened directly inside the interface with one button, and each button's name and bound action can be changed in a couple of clicks.
The configuration is saved automatically to a JSON file and persists after a restart, so the layout is kept for later gaming sessions. The mod is client-side only, so it changes nothing on a server, and it has minimal dependencies, which keeps conflicts with other mods unlikely. It is a Fabric mod released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Files are published for 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.0.1 for 26.2 as the latest beta file.
Key features
Chat button grid
A customizable grid of buttons on a chat screen, each one sending a preset message or command.
Edit mode in the interface
A single button opens an edit mode inside the screen, so buttons can be added and arranged without leaving the game.
Renamable bound actions
Each button's label and the action it sends can be changed in a couple of clicks.
Saved layout
Settings are written to a JSON file and reloaded after a restart, so the button layout carries over between sessions.

Use cases
Repeated commands
Players who send the same server or game command many times in a session can bind it to a button instead of retyping it.
Frequent chat messages
Standard phrases that a player posts often can be kept on the grid and sent with one click.
Who it’s for: Players who type the same commands or messages repeatedly and want them available on a single screen. Because the mod runs only on the client, players can use it on any server without asking the server owner to install anything.
