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

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.
