Chat Pimper
by OwOchle
With Chat Pimper, a player can color chat messages and add gradients without typing a formatting code before every line.
What it does
Chat Pimper makes it easier to send colored chat messages, mostly on servers. Colored message support is the core function, and a player can set a prefix or suffix that is added to every message sent. Gradients are disabled by default and switch on only when a message starts with the gradient marker, so ordinary chat is not changed. Each server can keep its own configuration, and the mod notes that Minecraft limits a message to 256 characters, which the mod can exceed.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player who installs it needs it, and a server does not have to run it. It works with a local integrated server. Messages longer than the limit are sent in pieces, and messages sent to a local server are broadcast without gradient coloring, since gradients would not be supported there. Installation needs UltimateColorLibrary, a required dependency. Chat Pimper is for Fabric only and covers 1.19.4, 1.20 and 1.20.1, with 0.0.2-beta for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Colored messages
Chat messages can be given colors, so a line can stand out on a busy server without manual formatting codes.
Gradient coloring
Gradients are created only when a message starts with the gradient marker, keeping default chat unchanged.
Prefix and suffix
A prefix or suffix can be added automatically to each outgoing message, removing the need to retype it.
Per server configuration
Each server can hold its own settings, so the same player can use different chat behavior on different servers.
