asyncchat
asyncchat moves Minecraft chat message handling off the main thread so chat traffic on a server does not cause stutters.
What it does
On a server, incoming chat messages are normally processed on the main game thread, where a burst of messages can stall the tick loop. asyncchat takes that handling onto a background thread, so chat rendering no longer competes with the main thread. The mod is server-side only: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source, and it requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric 1.21.11 only.
Key features
Background message handling
Chat messages are processed on a separate thread instead of the main game thread.

Server-side install
Only the server runs the mod, so clients need no changes to benefit from it.

What the author says
its just a mod that removes the stutters that come whenever you chat or a msg comes in chat on server and is server side only. this mod modifies the minecraft msg handling system,it removes the msg render off of main thread and adds it as a background thread. I KNOW MOJANG WILL NEVER FIX IT.
