Command Binds

A lightweight client-side mod for Minecraft that lets you map keyboard keys to arbitrary commands or chat text through a clean in-game GUI. No config file editing, no mods menu required — just press V, set up your binds, and go. Client-side only — safe to use on any server

Features

• Bind any key to a /command or plain chat message
• In-game GUI — open with V (rebindable in Controls settings)
• Scrollable binds list with color-coded badges (green = command, gray = message)
• Edit or delete existing binds directly from the list
• Persistent config — binds survive restarts, saved to config/commandbinds.json
• Works in singleplayer and multiplayer

Usage

Action How Open the GUI Press V in-game Add a bind Type text or /command → click Pick Key → press the desired key → click Add Edit a bind Click any row in the list — it loads back into the input fields Delete a bind Click ✗ Del on any row Trigger a bind Press the bound key while no screen is open

Commands must start with / — the mod strips the slash and sends them via the command channel automatically. Everything else is sent as a regular chat message.

Examples

Key Input Result F5 /gamemode creative Switches to Creative mode F6 /tp ~ ~50 ~ Teleports 50 blocks up F7 Hello everyone! Sends a chat message F8 /kill Instant kill

Config

Binds are stored in .minecraft/config/commandbinds.json and are loaded automatically on startup. You can edit the file manually if needed — the format is straightforward:

{ "binds": [ { "keyCode": 294, "text": "/gamemode creative", "label": "/gamemode creative" }, { "keyCode": 295, "text": "Hello everyone!", "label": "Hello everyone!" } ] }

keyCode values correspond to GLFW key codes.
