WebSocket Commands
by benjamin3033
WebSocket Commands lets a server receive commands over a WebSocket connection, so outside tools can trigger actions in a running Minecraft world.
What it does
Commands are sent to the server through a WebSocket, which lets an external program act on a running world without a player typing in chat. The mod is aimed at streaming setups and live events, where alerts and chat from a stream can reach the game. The author describes it as used alongside Streamer.bot.
Because the server handles every command, players join without installing anything. Files are released for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.20.4, 1.20.6 and 1.21, and the latest build for each loader is 1.1.0 for 1.20.4, dated 2025-11-05. The code is published under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Remote server commands
A connected WebSocket client can send commands that the server runs, so actions can come from outside the game.
In-game alerts
Alerts from an outside source can be shown directly in the game, for example when a stream event happens.
Livestream chat relay
Messages from a livestream chat can be passed into Minecraft's chat for players on the server to see.
Channel rewards
Channel point rewards can spawn mobs for players, so viewers can affect the world during a broadcast.

Use cases
Stream-driven events
A streamer can link viewer actions to world events, such as spawning a mob for a channel reward.
Server automation
A script or bot can send commands to a server over a WebSocket instead of through an operator account.
Who it’s for: Streamers who run Minecraft broadcasts and server owners who want chat, alerts or rewards from an outside program to reach the game. Players on the server need nothing installed.
How it compares
MineSocket is also a server-side Fabric mod under the MIT License, but it covers 1.21 – 1.21.8 and is published for Fabric only. DisKordel is server-side and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, for Fabric, 1.20.1 – 1.21.10, and it bridges Discord rather than WebSocket input. Client Chat Channels is client-side only and targets Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 26.2.
