About this Mod
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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

[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.

Limelight server crashes on startup – what to do?

Server lagging with Limelight – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Limelight consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
