Ever used Spotlight from macOS, KDE's KRunner or Visual Studio Code's Command Palette? Did you ever wish that Minecraft had a similar feature? Anybody?

Limelight is a mod meant to add a command palette similar in design to macOS's Spotlight. Just press the [ key (configurable via keybind) and start typing!

A search for 'lime'. Key binds, Limelight's config screen and entries from the Minecraft Wiki are shown.

Features

Invoke Keybinds

Similar in spirit to Too Many Binds, you can search for key bindings (even unbound ones) and run them from the command palette.

A search for 'open inv'. The 'Open/Close Inventory' keybind is shown.

Open Mod Configs

If you have Mod Menu installed, you can search for mods' names to open their respective config screens.

A search for 'mythic metals'. Mythic Metals' config screen is shown.

Calculator

Limelight includes a basic calculator that can be used to do quick math without leaving Minecraft.

A search for '=2 + 2'. The result 4 is shown.

Open Lavender Entries

If you have any mod's Lavender book in your inventory, you can search for any entry from that book and immediately open it.

A search for 'basic'. Two entries from Trickster's guidebook are shown.

Query Wikis

You can search through the Minecraft Wiki (and any wikis you manually add with a resource pack).

A search for 'creeper'. Many entries from the Minecraft Wiki are shown.

Bangs

You can specify what specifically you want to search for with a !bang, a feature borrowed from DuckDuckGo.

A search for . Possible bangs are shown, and Limelight is showing a suggestion to autocomplete to '!config'

[INSERT FEATURE HERE]

Limelight includes an API for making extensions (which the aforementioned built-in extensions use themselves), which you can use in your mod to add compatibility or write a full-fledged Limelight addon.
