ReturnFeatures
by TheKryzzz_
ReturnFeatures brings several post-1.12.2 Minecraft features back to Forge 1.12.2, including chat suggestions, a gamemode switcher and tick controls.
What it does
Chat gains ghost-text command suggestions while typing, and the Tab key cycles through command completions and argument suggestions, following the behavior of later Minecraft versions. The mod replaces the vanilla chat screen to provide these. Clickable coordinates in locate command output make structure positions simple to copy from chat.
Pressing F3 and F4 together opens a gamemode switcher for moving between Creative, Survival, Adventure and Spectator. The tick command can control the game tick rate and freeze, unfreeze or step the game. An attribute command lets an operator view and change entity attributes directly. Clicking a player name in the tab list teleports to that player, which suits Creative and Spectator play.
The mod is published for Forge 1.12.2 only, with a single file, 0.1.5, released on 2026-07-29. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players and server owners on Minecraft 1.12.2 who want command and chat behavior from newer versions. Because the mod must run on the server as well, operators should install it there before players join.
How it compares
F3 + F4 Gamemode Switcher for Older Versions covers only the gamemode switcher and is Client-side only under the MIT License, with files for 1.7.10 – 1.15.2 on Forge. Account Switcher targets Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.8.9 – 26.1.2 and is Client-side only under the MIT License, so it does not replace server-side command features. D-Sethome is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source.
