Anon Chat
by AnonBOT
Anon Chat gives players multi-window chat with tabs, per-tab fonts, filters and profiles, and runs on the client alone.
What it does
Players open independent chat windows and drag them anywhere on screen, with edge snapping that pulls a window against the screen border when it is moved close. Each window holds several tabs that separate chat topics, and every tab can carry its own font, size, spacing, alignment and shadow. Tags decide what reaches a tab: an include tag lets through only messages containing given words, while an exclude tag blocks them. Filters can also play a sound, change the background color or highlight a match.
The mod covers the 1.21.1 – 26.2 range on Fabric, across the builds 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3, 1.21.4, 1.21.5, 26.1.2 and 26.2. Profiles store complete configurations that can be switched without leaving the game, and the main chat.json file sits in the profiles folder under APPDATA%/AnonChatMC. Filters can migrate from LabyMod's JSON format. The project is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only, and Mod Menu is an optional dependency for its settings screen.
Key features
Multiple chat windows
Windows can be created without limit, dragged, resized and placed anywhere on the screen.
Per-tab text settings
Each tab keeps its own font, size, spacing, alignment and shadow, so topics read differently at a glance.
Include and exclude tags
Include tags show only messages containing chosen words, and exclude tags hide messages with blocked words.
Chat history loading
Daily chat logs and raw latest.log files can be loaded to step through unique messages, with occurrence counters.
Bilingual interface
The UI is available in English and Polish, detected automatically and remembered between sessions.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want more control over the chat box, and those who want to move filters over from LabyMod's JSON format. The mod is installed on the client only, so server owners do not need to add anything.
