2b2t IRC Fabric
by 2b12r
2b2t IRC is a Fabric and Quilt client mod that replaces the in-game chat on the 2b2t server with an alternative chat system.
What it does
Players who want a separate channel for conversation on 2b2t can use the chat system this mod provides in place of the in-game chat window. It is built around the 2b2t server, which has a long-running and uncensored chat culture, and it is meant to offer a more transparent way to talk with other players there.
Private messaging is a central part of the design. Two players can hold a one-on-one conversation that stays apart from public chat, so their exchange is not broadcast to everyone else on the server. A player can also block specific users with an ignore function, which filters out unwanted messages and reduces spam.
Installation means placing the mod file in the mods folder of the Minecraft installation directory. Files exist for Fabric and Quilt on 1.20.4, and the mod is listed for the 1.19.4 – 1.20.4 range. Because it is client-side only, nothing needs to be installed on the server side, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
