AntiWeakChat
by Itamio
AntiWeakChat lets each player recolor chat, tag other players, encrypt their own messages and filter out annoying senders on the client.
What it does
The mod changes how chat looks and behaves on the player's own screen. A player can assign a custom color to chosen friends so their messages stand out, or recolor an entire chat channel. Custom tags can replace the rank tags that servers display, which makes VIP prefixes easier to ignore. A list of ignored players hides their messages, and an anti-spam filter reduces repeated lines that flood the chat window.
Message encryption works between friends who share a secret. A player types a message with the secret set, and the text is scrambled before it is sent; a friend with the same secret reads the original. Players can also decrypt their own messages to check what was actually sent. Settings are kept in a config file where each friend, color and ignored name is listed.
Installation needs the mod on Fabric or Forge, and the files cover game versions 1.8.9 and 1.19.2 – 1.21.8. Client-side only means the server does not need the mod, and players join servers without installing anything on the server side. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Friend color list
Chosen players receive a color in chat, set by name in the config file, so their messages can be spotted quickly.
Ignore and anti-spam
Ignored players are hidden, and repeated messages from spammers are filtered to keep the chat window readable.
Custom player tags
Tags shown next to player names can be replaced or removed, so server-assigned VIP tags take less space in chat.
Message encryption
Messages are scrambled with a shared secret and decoded only by friends who hold the same secret.
