Call You By Your Name
by QiHuang02
Call You By Your Name lets players mention friends by name in chat, ping teammates and share held items or positions with one message.
What it does
Players call friends by their names in chat. A mention with a player name is delivered as a highlighted notification, and a click on it opens a reply suggestion with the chat field already filled in. An optional bell sound can accompany the notification.
Chat can also carry shared content: the item in a player's main hand is broadcast with its rarity color and a hover tooltip, a point of interest can be marked with a green spot marker, and the coordinates of the sender's position appear on hover. Spot markers and shared items adapt to player groups and are noticed in a glance at the conversation.
The mod is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 and runs with NeoForge builds for later versions, covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.11. It is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code is public. It needs both the server and every player to run it, and the server must be restarted after the JAR is added to its mods folder. Config changes take effect after a restart of Minecraft.
