Callout
by LTS_Server
Callout is a client-side Fabric mod that alerts a player with sound when chat contains their nickname or a custom keyword, so mentions are not missed in fast-scrolling server chat.
What it does
Callout extends standard Minecraft chat with keyword and nickname matching. A player can set custom keywords, and the mod also supports regular expressions for more advanced matching. When a message matches, a sound plays, and separate volume and pitch settings apply to each trigger. The alerts suit staff callouts, personal mentions and specific server events that need immediate attention, including while the player is away from the keyboard or working in another window.
Matched messages are stored in a dedicated mention history screen, where highlighted ping messages can be looked at alongside the chat that came before and after them. This helps a player check what happened in a busy channel without scrolling back manually. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it. Callout is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 26.1.2 and 26.2, with 1.0.3 for 26.2 as the latest file, dated 2026-08-03.
Key features
Keyword and nickname alerts
Chat messages containing the player's nickname or a custom keyword trigger a sound notification.
Regular expression matching
Triggers accept regular expressions, so alerts can follow more precise patterns in chat.
Per-trigger sound settings
Volume and pitch can be set separately for each trigger, so different alerts sound different.
Mention history screen
A dedicated screen lists highlighted ping messages, showing the surrounding chat for context.

How it compares
Better Chat History is client-side only, released under CC0 1.0 Universal, and not open source, with files for 26.2. Disable Command History is also client-side only and open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, but it targets 26.1 – 26.2 and works on chat commands rather than alerts. AFK Chat Alert is open source under the MIT License, client-side only, and published for 1.21.11 alone, so it covers a different version than Callout.
