What it does

Chat Alerts watches incoming chat and fires an on-screen alert when a message matches a trigger. Triggers use regular expressions, so a single pattern can cover a family of Minecraft-specific messages. The mod is client-side only and needs nothing on the server, and it is built for Forge 1.8.9. Source code and an issue tracker are public, and the code is open source under the Apache License 2.0.

Key features

  1. Automated chat triggers

    Each trigger matches incoming chat against a regex pattern and shows an alert when the pattern matches.

  2. Custom on-screen alerts

    Alerts display text on screen, and the look of each one is set in the alert configuration.

  3. In-game configuration

    Triggers and alerts are edited through an in-game GUI, so no config file has to be changed by hand.
