VoiceCommands
by kittheuh
VoiceCommands lets players open Source Engine style voice command menus in chat, each entry sending a preset command or message with one keypress.
What it does
Menus are the core of the mod: a menu is opened from chat and lists entries that each send a shorthand message or run a different command. The default values mimic the Team Fortress 2 voice menus, and every entry, prefix and menu can be changed in the configuration, so a player can build a chat bind system of their own. A global message prefix applies to all menus, while a menu can define its own prefix to override it, and commands are recognized whenever a message begins with the configured prefix.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and the server runs without it. It is published for Fabric only, across six release versions 1.21.11 – 26.3, and is released under the Apache License 2.0, so the code is open source. No other mod is required.
Key features
Source Engine style menus
Chat-opened menus in the style of Source Engine voice commands let players send a message from a list.
Customizable chat messages
Each menu entry can hold its own message, and the shorthand text sent in chat appears in the menu itself.
Prefix control
A global prefix covers every menu, and an individual menu can set a prefix that overrides it.
Per-entry commands
A single menu entry can be set to run a different command from the rest, not only to send chat text.
Team Fortress 2 defaults
The default menus reproduce the Team Fortress 2 voice set, which can then be replaced entirely.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who use chat often in multiplayer and want to send repeated messages or commands quickly. Because only the client needs the mod, it can be added to any server without server-side installation.
How it compares
Chat-focused mods on Fabric differ in scope. IntervalCommands is client-side only, under the MIT License, and covers 1.21 – 26.2 rather than the 26.3 release, so it suits players on an earlier build. Simple Voice Chat Group Player Names is client-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and targets 1.21.8 – 26.3 with a focus on voice chat names. Bedrock Voice Chat is not open source, carries an All rights reserved license and covers 1.21 – 26.3.
