Better Chat
by llamalad7
Better Chat changes how the chat window on the client looks and behaves, with animated messages, an optional clear background and a movable chat box.
What it does
Better Chat is a client-side chat enhancement mod for Forge. Only the client needs it, so servers and other players can run without it. Files cover 1.8.9 and 1.12.2, with 1.5 for 1.12.2 as the latest release, published in July 2021.
Key features
Animated messages
Received messages can slide up into place instead of appearing at once, and the animation can be turned off.
Clear background option
A setting gives the chat a clear background, which is off by default.
Reposition and rescale
The chat box can be moved on screen and resized to fit the player's layout.
