CMDAlias

CMDAlias

CMDAlias is a server-side Fabric mod for Minecraft that adds configurable command aliases and shortcuts.

It lets you turn long or repetitive commands into short, memorable ones such as:

- `/sun` -> `/weather clear` - `/bp` -> `/travelbag` - `/gmsp` -> `/gamemode spectator`

Because aliases are registered back into the server command tree, they support tab completion and behave like normal commands for players who are allowed to use the target command.

✨ Features

- Server-side only: no client installation required - Create short aliases for long vanilla or modded commands - Replace existing aliases without restarting the server - Delete aliases in-game - Tab completion updates after aliases are changed - Aliases are stored in a simple JSON config file

---

🔄 Commands

- `/cmdalias add <alias> <target command>` Adds a new alias or updates an existing one. - `/cmdalias del <alias>` Deletes an existing alias. - `/cmdalias list` Lists all configured aliases.

These commands require operator permissions.

---

❗ How It Works

Aliases are saved in:

`config/cmdalias.json`

When the server starts, CMDAlias loads the configured aliases and injects them into the command dispatcher. When you add or remove an alias in-game, the config is updated immediately and the command tree is resynced to online players.

CMDAlias also prevents alias loops such as:

- `/a -> /b` - `/b -> /a`

⚙️ Configuration

Default config:

```json { "aliases": {} } ```

Example config:

```json { "aliases": { "sun": "/weather clear", "bp": "/travelbag", "spawn": "/tp 0 64 0" } } ```

Notes:

- Alias names are normalized to lowercase. - Alias names may only contain `a-z`, `0-9`, `_` and `-`. - Target commands may be entered with or without a leading `/`. - Additional arguments typed after an alias are passed through to the target command when possible.

Examples:

- `/msgs Steve Hello there` with alias `msgs -> /msg` - `/day` with alias `day -> /time set day`

---

🧾 Example Use Cases

- Give staff shortcuts for common moderation commands - Create short teleports or utility aliases for private servers - Simplify long commands added by other mods or datapacks - Standardize frequently used admin commands across a server team
