TTYClient

A terminal-themed Minecraft client for those who live in the shell.

TTYClient is built around one idea: your Minecraft client should feel as scriptable and customizable as your Linux system. Type client commands starting with a ; prefix, bind keys to chat messages, Minecraft commands, or literal bash scripts, and configure everything through plain JSONC text files - all live-reloaded, no restarts needed.


Requirements

Installation

Drop ttyclient-*.jar alongside Fabric API and Kotlin for Fabric into your mods/ folder. On first launch, TTYClient creates its config directory at ~/TTYClient/.


Usage

Type ; followed by a command in chat. Commands are intercepted client-side and never sent to the server.

Available commands:

;help (alias: ?)                         list all commands
;mcfetch                                 neofetch-style game info
;info [--name|-n] [--version|-v] ...     show TTYClient information
;config                                  open the in-game config editor
;hud (alias: hudeditor)                  open the HUD editor
;module --trigger <module>               trigger a module
;module --toggle <module>                enable or disable a module
;screenshot <copy|upload> <path>         copy/upload screenshot
;debug --toggle <keys>                   toggle key visualizer
;debug --trigger spam <n>                send n test messages

The command prefix (default ;) can be changed in ~/TTYClient/config/general.jsonc.


Keybinds

Keybinds live in ~/TTYClient/config/keybinds.jsonc and support multiple execution types:

{ "bind": "ALT+C",    "type": "client",  "exec": "config" },
{ "bind": "C",        "type": "client",  "exec": "module --trigger zoom" },
{ "bind": "CTRL+F1",  "type": "command", "exec": "gamemode creative" },
{ "bind": "F9",       "type": "bash",    "exec": "notify-send 'test notify'" },
{ "bind": "DELETE",   "type": "action",  "exec": "Disconnect" }

Types: client, command, chat, bash, sequence, action, noop

Actions: QuitGame, Disconnect, ShowMultiplayer
