Install in the game only; not needed on the server
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.
