Quick Commands
Quick Commands lets a player type a short custom prefix shortcut and open the chat box with a full command already filled in.
What it does
A lightweight client-side mod that creates fast command shortcuts under a custom prefix instead of typing the full command each time. Aliases map a short word to a command, and they can carry messages and arguments, with tab completion for quicker entry. A settings screen with a search bar lets the player edit shortcuts, and a dedicated key opens the chat with the chosen command already typed.
The settings are reachable from the title screen, from the buttons on the settings pages and from the escape game menu, so the mod stays out of the way of gameplay. Because it runs only on the client, a server needs nothing installed and joining players are not affected. Builds are published for Fabric 1.21.11 only and need Fabric API, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features

Use cases
Frequent server commands
A player who runs the same commands often can bind each one to a short prefix instead of retyping it.
Chat messages
Aliases can hold a repeated chat message, so a common line is sent with a few keystrokes.
Who it’s for: Players who run the same commands often in single-player or on a server, and who want shorter typing without installing anything on the server.
How it compares
Aliases is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, so it runs on the server rather than in the player's client. Custom Command is client-side only, under a custom license, and covers 1.21 – 1.21.11. Shorthand is client-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and targets 1.21.10. Quick Commands is also client-side only but limited to 1.21.11 and open source under the MIT License.
