Allow Chat
Allow Chat is a Fabric social mod that lets players use the symbol Minecraft normally blocks in chat messages.
What it does
Allow Chat enables use of a symbol that vanilla Minecraft filters out of chat. The author warns that the server and client do not work with it as expected, so a player joins a server with it at their own risk. Minecraft's developers likely have a reason for blocking the symbol, and first releases of the mod may still show problems. Files are published for Fabric across seven game versions, 1.18.1 – 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so both sides need the mod. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source.
Key features
Symbol chat support
Lets players send the symbol in chat, which vanilla Minecraft does not permit by default.
Early-stage behavior
The author expects first-release problems and says players use the mod at their own risk.
Unsupported chat filtering
Bypasses the chat filter that Minecraft applies to the symbol, so messages containing it are sent as typed.

This mod enables the use of the § symbol in Minecraft. NOTE: Unfortunately, it has to be on your server AND your client to work.
