Phone
by GreedyAllay
Phone is a Forge utility mod for server operators and players, with an in-game phone menu that runs commands and changes world settings without operator rights.
What it does
The phone menu lets a player change basic world settings and their own game mode, teleport to saved or user-defined locations, and switch between the Overworld, the Nether and the End. Five locations can be stored in a variable file, and the preset commands tab offers shortcuts for moving ten or five blocks in a chosen direction. Tilde notation works for coordinates, and the mod can place a user-specified block at entered coordinates.
Because the menu gives access to operator-level commands, the mod is aimed at survival worlds, adventure maps and multiplayer servers where an operator wants players to reach those actions through one interface. Features that spawn TNT in one, four or sixteen blocks, apply or clear status effects by ID, or kill a mob with random players are part of the same menu. The author notes that explosions from spawned TNT do not kill players in survival and that the menu can damage other players.
The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. The author notes an issue in which the phone menu cannot be opened server-side in some cases.

How it compares
Basically Cooler Smart-Devices is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is client and server and open source under the MIT License, so it covers a different version range and license. Panic Ops is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that runs on the client alone and carries a custom license, so it is not open source and cannot run on 1.16.5 or 1.17.1. Time On Display is a client-side only mod for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge in the 1.20 – 1.21.1 range and is not open source.
