Client Commands Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I use client commands in Minecraft?
Client-side commands work just like normal chat commands — type them in the chat box starting with a forward slash, such as /ccalc or /cfind. They run on your client only, so they work even on servers where you don't have operator permissions.
Why aren't my client commands showing up or working?
Make sure the mod is actually loaded and that you're typing the command with the leading slash in chat. Some commands are restricted by context — for example /cgive only works in Creative mode, and /cbook is only enabled in older versions.
How do I make a shortcut or alias for a command?
Use /calias to create an alias that maps a short name to a longer command. Once set up, typing your alias runs the original command, which is handy for commands you use often.
How do I find items in nearby chests?
Use /cfinditem to search containers around you for a specific item. It scans nearby inventories and reports where the matching items are located so you don't have to open every chest.
How do I read the NBT data of a block or entity?
Use /cgetdata while looking at or targeting a block entity or entity to read its NBT data. This is useful for debugging, copying data, or understanding how something is configured.
How do I locate entities or blocks around me?
Use /cfind to search for entities and /cfindblock to search for blocks in your area. Both let you specify what you're looking for and report matching locations nearby.
What does /cgamma do and is it allowed on servers?
/cgamma sets your gamma value, effectively brightening the game beyond vanilla limits. Since it's a client-side change it only affects your own display, but some servers consider fullbright an unfair advantage, so check server rules.
How do I use the calculator commands?
/ccalc is a general calculator for math expressions, and /ccalcstack calculates item stack sizes and conversions. Both are quick ways to do math without leaving the game.
What are ghost blocks and how do I place them?
/cghostblock sets or fills an area with client-side ghost blocks that only you can see. They're useful for planning builds or marking areas, and they don't affect the actual server world.
Does this mod work on multiplayer servers and does it hurt performance?
Because the commands are client-side, most of them work on any server without special permissions, though a few like /cgive require Creative mode. Performance impact is generally minimal since the commands only run when you invoke them.
