QuickPhrases
by myworldzycpc
QuickPhrases lets players store chat messages and commands in a tree of keyboard shortcuts, so a single key sequence sends a saved phrase.
What it does
Phrases are arranged in a nested key tree, so a branch can hold related messages and a sequence of keys walks down to the one wanted. A HUD overlay lists the current path and the options available at each step, and a phrase can be sent with either a short press or a hold on Left Control or Left Alt. Messages can be sent straight away, or opened in the chat screen pre-filled, with any marked text already selected so it can be replaced before sending. Multi-line messages, commands and a configurable prefix are supported, and after a phrase is sent the path stays active, which suits repeated greetings or trade messages.
Placeholders insert dynamic values when a phrase is sent. A placeholder is written with double curly braces and can take arguments in a key=value form, for example to read the player's position in block mode, convert the held item to a block, or show an item even when the hand is empty. Phrases are stored in YAML files that can be edited with any text editor and shared with others, and an in-game configuration screen opened with G can reload the files without restarting the game. The mod runs on the client alone, and it has no effect on the server side. Fabric API is required.
Key features
Nested key tree
Phrases are grouped in branches, so a key sequence such as K then 1 leads to a specific saved message.
Placeholders with arguments
Double curly brace placeholders insert player position, held item, block under the cursor and similar values when a phrase is sent.
Chat edit and path lock
Phrases can be pre-filled in the chat screen for editing, or the key path can stay active to send several phrases in a row.
YAML phrase files
Phrases are kept in YAML files that can be edited directly, copied to another player and reloaded from the configuration screen.

How it compares
ChatMakro is a client-side Fabric mod released under the MIT License, but its files exist only for 1.21.11. Snippetist is also client-side and covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, under the 0BSD license, so it matches the version of this mod. Easy Channels is server-side only and open source under the Apache License 2.0 for 1.20.1, so it does not provide a client key tree.
