Syd's Simple Commands
Syd's Simple Commands is a Forge game mechanics mod that adds shortcut commands for changing gamemode and travelling between dimensions.
What it does
The mod adds a set of commands meant to make the game easier to control. Typing a gamemode command switches the player between creative, survival, adventure and spectator, so there is no need to type out the full gamemode name each time. A single command moves the player between the overworld, the end and the nether, instead of requiring coordinates or a longer dimension command.
The commands are built around a help menu that lists every command available in the installed version, which helps when a player does not remember a command's exact syntax. The author describes the goal as simple, direct access to common actions rather than new gameplay systems, so the mod changes how commands are typed and not how the world works.
Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 1.2 as the latest build, released on 2024-07-29 on the beta channel. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Use cases

How it compares
Command Macro Key is a Forge mod for client and server, published for 1.20.1 under the MIT License and open source, so it is built around key binds rather than typed commands. Legacy Commands is a server-side only Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under All rights reserved, so players join without installing it. Super Gamemode Switcher works on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 26.2 under the MIT License, with the server required and the client optional.
