Chat images
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
Images in chat
Players can post an image into the chat so other players see it inline in the message log.
Fullscreen viewer
Clicking an image in chat opens it in a fullscreen window, where the view can be zoomed and panned by dragging.
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.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players and server owners on Minecraft 1.21.11 who want image sharing in chat. Both the server and each client need the mod, and the server must support it for the send button to be enabled.
How it compares
Photo Chat is also a Fabric mod for Client and server use, published under the MIT License for 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, and it is not open source. W Chat is Client-side only and works on 1.21.11 alone, so servers do not need it. Custom Images Client is Client-side only for 1.21.4, under All rights reserved and not open source. Chat Images covers only 1.21.11 and needs the server to run it too.
