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
/commandor 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.

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.
