In three words, this is "reverse-i-search for Minecraft".

Command R is a mod that brings search functionality to your Minecraft chat messages and commands. If you've ever used reverse-i-search in a Bash, Zsh, or Powershell terminal, this is basically the same.

IMPORTANT: This mod requires Balm installed in order to work.

Here is a 30-second video showcasing the mod:

How to Use

  • Next: Find the next item (in reverse) that matches your search query.

  • Previous: Go back to the previous item (go forward) that last matched your search query. Use the "Previous" keybind (CTRL + SHIFT + R default)
