Macro/Keybind Mod 1.12.2, — Guide

Macro Creation

Macros are the core of the mod, allowing players to define sequences of actions or commands. The mod supports various types of actions and execution modes.

Macro Actions

Macros can perform several types of actions: * Execute Command: Runs a Minecraft command (e.g., /home, /spawn). * Type Message Without Send: Types text into the chat input field without automatically sending it. * Send Message: Types and immediately sends a message to chat.

Macro Modes

Macros can be configured to execute in different ways: * Simple: The macro executes once per key press. * Toggle: A sustained press of the key causes the macro to execute repeatedly at a set interval. * Repeat: A single press activates a timer, causing the macro to run multiple times at a specified frequency. * Delayed: The macro executes once after a predefined delay following the key press.

In-Game Text Editor

For creating more complex macros, the mod includes an in-game text editor. This allows users to write and edit macro scripts directly within Minecraft, eliminating the need to switch to external programs. Macros can also be installed by creating plain text files in the .minecraft/mods/macros folder and then binding them to a key using a specific syntax like $${<nameofyourmacro.txt>}$$.

Scripting and Advanced Features

The Macro/Keybind Mod offers powerful scripting capabilities, enabling highly customized and automated gameplay. While extensive, scripting allows for the creation of sophisticated functionalities beyond simple command binding.

Parameters

The mod provides numerous easy-to-use parameters that can be incorporated into macros and scripts. These parameters facilitate dynamic actions such as managing lists of friends, creating automatic responses, setting warp points, or interacting with town systems.

Scripting Examples

With scripting, players can build custom auto-announcers, implement time-delayed messages, or create toggleable keys for actions like auto-walk, sneak, or sprint. A command reference or 'cheat sheet' is typically available (often by pressing F1 within the macro editor) to list all available scripting commands.

Custom GUI Buttons

Beyond keyboard binds, the mod allows for the creation of custom graphical user interface buttons. These buttons can be added to a grid within the mod's interface and bound to any command, offering an alternative way to trigger actions.
