About this project

What does Command Binds add?

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.
