Spyglass
by breaadyboy
Spyglass gives players a fuzzy command palette in the client, for searching items, changing game options, running commands and querying the Minecraft wiki from one entry point.
What it does
A single palette opens over the game and matches typed text loosely, so a partial or misspelled name still finds the right entry. Players use it to look up items, adjust options, and run command macros without typing each full command in chat.
Spyglass also includes mod support hooks and a wiki lookup, so a search can continue into an external reference. It runs on the client alone, and the server does not need it. The mod targets Fabric and is published for 1.21.4 and 1.21.10, requiring Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin. The code is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source.
Key features
Fuzzy command palette
Typed text is matched loosely against available entries, so partial names return results from the palette.
Item search
The palette can look up items by name, giving quick access to an item without browsing the creative inventory.
Game option changes
Several game options can be adjusted from the palette without opening the options screens.
Command macros
Commands can be stored as macros and run from the palette in one action.

Use cases
Fast command entry
A player who runs the same commands often can trigger them from the palette instead of retyping each one in chat.
Looking up wiki pages
The wiki search lets a player look up a block, item or mechanic while staying in the game.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who run commands or search items often, in single-player or on a multiplayer server they join as clients. Server owners do not need to install it.
