Command Binds

# 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

| 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 |

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:

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

`keyCode` values correspond to GLFW key codes.
