GUI System

Manage your aliases graphically with the Command Maker GUI system.

Overview

Command Maker includes a graphical interface for managing aliases without needing to edit JSON files. The GUI makes it easy to delete aliases and organize your commands.

Opening the GUI

To open the alias management GUI, use this command in-game:

/deletealiases-gui

A window will appear showing all your currently active aliases in a grid layout.

GUI Features

Viewing Aliases

The GUI displays all aliases as clickable blocks, similar to Minecraft's inventory system.

  • Each alias shows its name and command
  • Aliases are displayed in a grid format
  • Scroll through aliases if you have many of them

Deleting Aliases

  1. Open the GUI with /deletealiases-gui
  2. Click on any alias to delete it
  3. The alias is immediately removed from your configuration
  4. Close the GUI by pressing ESC

Scrolling Through Aliases

If you have many aliases:

  • Use your mouse wheel to scroll up and down
  • The grid will show different aliases as you scroll

GUI Layout

The GUI displays aliases in a stone-textured grid:

  • Width: 9 columns (like an inventory)
  • Height: 5 visible rows
  • Total visible: 45 aliases at a time

Each alias block shows:

  • Alias name (in white text)
  • Command being executed (in gray text)

Comparison: GUI vs. Commands vs. Files

Tips & Tricks

Backup Before Deleting

Before deleting aliases through the GUI, consider:

  • Making a backup of your aliases.json
  • Deleting directly from the file if you need to undo changes

Hotkey Access

Create an alias for the GUI command:

"gui": "/deletealiases-gui"

Now you can type /gui to quickly access the interface.

  • Scroll using your mouse wheel to see more
  • The GUI shows up to 45 aliases at once

❌ Deleted an alias by mistake?

  • Re-add it with /addcommand add
