SmartChat Macros
SmartChat Macros puts a side panel beside the chat screen, where saved chat macros can be fired with one click, without opening any extra menus.
What it does
Macros are kept in a panel that opens from the chat screen, on the right side of the window. Clicking a macro sends it at once and closes the chat. Macros can be added, renamed and deleted inline inside the panel, and a macro that begins with a slash is sent as a command automatically. The panel can be dragged to any spot on the screen.
Macro lists are separated per server, so a singleplayer world and each multiplayer server keep their own set. The same list follows the player across installs, since it is not tied to one profile or launcher. The mod is built for Fabric and needs Fabric API; it runs on the client alone, and servers need nothing installed. Files cover 15 release versions, 1.21 – 26.1.2, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Who it’s for: Players who send the same chat messages or commands often, on singleplayer worlds or on multiplayer servers, and who want the saved text one click away.
