2chat
by Meowlan
2chat gives a Fabric server a second chat window that players can read but not type into, fed by a command.
What it does
The second window is configurable and works alongside normal chat. Players cannot interact with it the way they do with regular chat, since it is purely read-only. Messages are added with a command, and the text is displayed much as tellraw would show it. The mod was made mainly for adventure maps and similar projects that need a separate channel for narration or announcements. It requires Cloth Config API and is published for Fabric for 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and is open source.
