Helpful Commands Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I see all the commands this mod adds?
Use the /hc commandList command to open an in-game list of all available commands and shortcuts added by Helpful Commands Mod. This list shows both new commands and shortcuts for existing vanilla commands.
Can I use flight mode without switching to Creative Mode?
Yes, use the /fly command to toggle creative flight mode while staying in Survival or other game modes. This is useful for building or exploring without losing your survival progression.
What's the difference between the new commands and the shortcuts?
New commands like /fly are entirely new features added by the mod, while shortcuts are shorter alternatives to existing vanilla commands (like /give or /gamemode). Both are listed in the /hc commandList.
Do I need to be in Creative Mode to use these commands?
No, most commands work in any game mode, though some require operator (OP) permissions on servers. The /fly command specifically lets you enable flight in non-Creative modes.
Can server admins use this mod?
Yes, Helpful Commands Mod is designed to be useful for server administrators who frequently use commands for management and building. Make sure players have appropriate permissions set for the commands you want them to access.
Will this mod conflict with other command-related mods?
Helpful Commands Mod should work alongside most other mods, but conflicts can occur if multiple mods add commands with identical names. Check the mod's compatibility notes if you're using other command-heavy mods.
How do I disable a command I don't want to use?
Check the mod's configuration file (usually in your config folder) to see if individual commands can be toggled on or off. Not all mods allow per-command configuration, so you may need to consult the mod documentation.
Can I create custom shortcuts for my own commands?
Helpful Commands Mod provides pre-made shortcuts for common vanilla commands, but custom shortcuts depend on the mod's configuration options. Check the config file to see if alias customization is supported.
Do these commands work in multiplayer/on servers?
Yes, but you need appropriate permissions (usually OP status) to use most commands on a server. The server must also have the mod installed for the commands to function.
Will using these commands affect my world or cause lag?
These commands are just shortcuts and don't inherently cause performance issues. Using commands like /fly or teleportation might affect gameplay experience depending on your world size and server load, but the mod itself is lightweight.
