Chat++ Global and Local Chat
by Zertnix
Chat++ Global and Local Chat lets players switch between a local chat that reaches nearby players and a global chat that reaches the whole server.
What it does
Local chat is the default mode, and a message reaches only the players within a radius of 100 blocks. Global chat reaches every player on the server regardless of location. A message is sent to global chat by starting it with an exclamation mark, so players can switch modes from the text they type without a separate menu.
Server owners can use it for server-wide announcements, such as a raid that starts in ten minutes, while players keep ordinary nearby conversation local. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric alone, for 1.21.11, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Two chat modes
Local chat is visible to players within 100 blocks, and global chat is visible to everyone on the server.
Prefix for global messages
Starting a message with an exclamation mark sends it to global chat instead of local chat.
Server-wide announcements
Global messages let staff or players announce events, such as a joint raid, to the entire server.
Regular chat input
Messages are typed in the normal chat box and sent with Enter, with no extra command or interface needed.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Local conversation
Players asking nearby players for help or materials keep the message within the local area.
Server announcements
Server owners post a raid or event notice that every player on the server sees.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want separate local and server-wide chat channels, and players on those servers who want nearby conversation kept apart from global messages.
