AdvancedChatBox
by DarkKronicle
AdvancedChatBox adds spell checking, a calculator, custom command highlighting and tab-completion suggestions to the Minecraft chat box.
What it does
Chat input gets richer suggestions: complex tab completion is added to the chat box, and suggestions can be turned off for player names in the tab list or recolored. Typed messages can be checked for spelling through LanguageTool, and legacy color codes are formatted as they are typed. A calculator works inside the chat box, and the JSON linter commands check raw text components before they are used.
The mod is built around its own chat pipeline and requires AdvancedChatCore to run. It is published for Fabric and Quilt across seven release versions, 1.18 – 1.19.3, and its files target the same range. Client-side only means players install it alone, with no change needed on servers. The code is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so the project is open source.
Key features
Spell checking
Messages are checked for spelling and grammar through LanguageTool as they are typed.
In-chat calculator
Arithmetic typed into the chat box is evaluated, so a sum can be solved without leaving the game.
Command highlighting
Commands are colored in the input field, with the color set in the mod's configuration.
Tab suggestion controls
Suggestions for player names in the tab list can be switched on or off, and suggestion colors can be changed.
JSON linter commands
Built-in commands check JSON text components, which helps when writing command output by hand.

Who it’s for: Players who chat often and want spelling help or richer suggestions, and players who write commands or JSON text components by hand.
