Advanced Chat Hud Reboot
Advanced Chat Hud Reboot replaces the vanilla chat window on Fabric with a redesigned HUD that has many configurable display and tab options.
What it does
The mod is a reworked port of the Advanced Chat HUD originally made by DarkKronicle, updated for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11 with bug fixes. It changes how messages are drawn: messages can be shown as stripes or stacks, player heads can appear beside them, and padding, spacing, background and border colors, fade time and fade type can all be set. Chat scale can be changed without breaking the window.
Chat can be split into several windows and tabs. Each tab can carry its own name, colors and visibility rules, and tabs can collect messages that match specific content, with several matches allowed per tab. Unread message counts are shown per tab, and tab contents can be exported and shared with other people. Advanced Chat Core Reboot is required and must be installed alongside the mod. Fabric API and MaLiLib are required as well. Builds exist for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.21.11-0.0.2 as the latest file, and the code is hosted in a public source repository under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

How it compares
AdvancedChatHUD Modernized is also a Fabric and Quilt client mod under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, with files for 1.21.8 – 1.21.10, so it covers older builds than this mod. HudBro is a client-side Fabric mod that is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and supports 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, but it is a general HUD rather than a chat replacement. Hit Display is client-side on Fabric for 1.21 – 1.21.11 and is not open source under the MIT License.
