*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?~~*<\/p>\n

**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!<\/p>\n

![A search for ‘lime’. Key binds, Limelight’s config screen and entries from the Minecraft Wiki are shown.<\/p>\n

## Features
\n### Invoke Keybinds
\nSimilar in spirit to Too Many Binds, you can search for key bindings (even unbound ones) and run them from the command palette.<\/p>\n

![A search for ‘open inv’. The ‘Open\/Close Inventory’ keybind is shown.](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/a8b89881b78f29b5c4e26f7ce5a221d455c9ee5d.png)<\/p>\n

### Open Mod Configs
\nIf you have Mod Menu installed, you can search for mods’ names to open their respective config screens.<\/p>\n

![A search for ‘mythic metals’. Mythic Metals’ config screen is shown.](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/b01c46a610bd2fe7a53d9f19a77467824f9266ce.png)<\/p>\n

### Calculator
\nLimelight includes a basic calculator that can be used to do quick math without leaving Minecraft.<\/p>\n

![A search for ‘=2 + 2’. The result 4 is shown.](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/ef9a09b82622b459561178420e104b535b990a7e.png)<\/p>\n

### Open Lavender Entries
\nIf you have any mod’s Lavender book in your inventory, you can search for any entry from that book and immediately open it.<\/p>\n

![A search for ‘basic’. Two entries from Trickster’s guidebook are shown.](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/ce1e3804f98b7d7eb9820d33e810d381f3c432ed.png)<\/p>\n

### Query Wikis
\nYou can search through the Minecraft Wiki (and any wikis you manually add with a resource pack).<\/p>\n

![A search for ‘creeper’. Many entries from the Minecraft Wiki are shown.](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/a27ad9529fa26661d18cf553ed519c89ab387756.png)<\/p>\n

### Bangs
\nYou can specify what specifically you want to search for with a `!bang`, a feature borrowed from DuckDuckGo.<\/p>\n

![A search for `!`. Possible bangs are shown, and Limelight is showing a suggestion to autocomplete to ‘!config’](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/7fd7012505e1a0a7502abdbb02207f4fc1e6e9b3.png)<\/p>\n

### `[INSERT FEATURE HERE]`
\nLimelight 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
