Chat Overhaul !
by Veack
Chat Overhaul adds custom chat formatting, more than 100 emojis, mentions and an emoji picker to Minecraft's chat, and it runs on the client alone.
What it does
The mod changes how chat messages look and how they are written. Players can set the format of their messages, including hearts and content, pick colors through Mod Menu, and choose a format for each channel, with timestamps shown where wanted. Chat input offers emoji suggestions, and an emoji picker lets players insert emojis from a set of more than 100.
Whispers and team messages send to the matching tab automatically, and pressing Tab switches quickly between tabs. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, with files for 1.21.11 and 26.1 on Fabric and NeoForge.
