Auto Team Chat
Auto Team Chat is a Fabric client mod that redirects chat messages to the team channel by default, while a single-character prefix sends a message to global chat instead.
What it does
Players on team-based servers often type long commands and lose track of which channel a message is going to, and a mistake in a Factions, Bed Wars, SkyBlock or co-op match can cost a round. This mod sends ordinary chat to the team channel automatically, so the default path is the team. Typing one reserved character before a message overrides that and sends the line to global chat, keeping the shortcut for the moment a player needs to speak to everyone.
The mod works on the client alone: it changes only how the player's own messages are routed, and the server does not need it. Auto Team Chat is open source under the Apache License 2.0, with source code published, and files exist for Minecraft 1.21.4 only. It is distributed for Fabric and is described by its author as broadly compatible with other mods, though the Modrinth page gives no list of tested combinations.
Key features
Default team routing
Ordinary chat lines go to the team channel without any extra command, so the player does not type a prefix each time.
Single-character global override
One reserved character typed first sends the message to global chat, and the rest of the line is sent as written.
Lightweight client behavior
The routing runs inside the client, adding no separate server component and no chat commands to learn.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who join team-based servers and want chat to reach their team without extra typing. Server owners do not need to install it, since the mod is client-side only.
