Chat Images lets a player send an image in chat, and any viewer can open it fullscreen with zoom and drag.

What it does

A Fabric mod for 1.21.11 lets players send images into chat and view them directly, without leaving the conversation. A received image appears in the chat window, and clicking it opens a fullscreen viewer. Fabric API is required, and the mod must be installed on both the server and every client.

Chat Images detects on connection whether the server supports the feature. If it does not, the send button is disabled, so players are not offered a function the server cannot relay. It is client and server, is published for 1.21.11 only, and is distributed under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Images in chat

    Players can post an image into the chat so other players see it inline in the message log.

  2. Fullscreen viewer

    Clicking an image in chat opens it in a fullscreen window, where the view can be zoomed and panned by dragging.

  3. Server support detection

    When a player joins, the client detects whether the server runs Chat Images, and the send button stays disabled if it does not.
