BetterTeamChat
by Havhingstor
BetterTeamChat reroutes chat messages so that a player can send text to the team, a specific player or the global channel without typing a command each time.
What it does
Once a chat target is set, plain text typed into the chat box is sent to that target instead of being broadcast. The current target is shown by a state query, and a message sent globally can still be made with the global chat command. Fabric and Quilt builds cover 1.18.2 – 1.20.4, and the mod runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it. Its only required dependency is BetterTeamChat-OpenPaC, which lists this mod as a requirement; this mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Set a chat target
Plain text chat can be routed to the team, a named player or the global channel by choosing the target first.
Query the current state
A query command reports which chat target is active, so the player can check before sending.
Global messages on demand
A dedicated global command still sends one message to everyone, without changing the active target.
