Chat Tweaks - Secure
by Team JHL
Chat Tweaks - Secure is a Fabric client mod that filters chat messages so that unwanted special characters and blocked words stay out of view.
What it does
Players who stream or play on busy servers can reduce clutter in chat. The mod removes selected special characters from incoming messages and hides lines that contain words from a user-defined list. A settings screen lets each filter be switched on or off, and the comma-separated word list is edited there rather than in a file.
Settings are saved automatically and reloaded each time the game starts. A Secure Mode option enables a stricter privacy setting intended for live broadcasts. Chat Tweaks - Secure is published only for Fabric, with files for the 1.21.4 – 1.21.8 span released under the MIT License. It is not open source.
The mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need to install it and players join without it. No other mods are listed as required.
Key features
Special character filter
Selected special characters are stripped from chat lines before they appear, which keeps messages easier to read.
Word-based message hiding
Any message containing a word from the filter list is hidden from the chat window.
Secure Mode
A dedicated mode raises the privacy level of chat filtering, aimed at streamers who need a distraction-free feed.
Settings screen
Each filter can be toggled, and the list of filter words is added to or removed from in one menu.
Automatic saved settings
Configuration is stored in the config folder and reloaded on each launch, so manual file edits are not needed.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Who it’s for: Streamers who want to keep chat safe during live broadcasts, and players who want a quieter, more readable chat window on any server.
How it compares
Player Chat Filter is also a Fabric client mod under the MIT License, but it is built for Minecraft 1.21.11 only. Advanced Chat Filters Reboot is a client-side Fabric mod under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 with files for 1.21.10 – 1.21.11. Chat Tweaks - Secure covers an earlier span instead, so it suits players on those versions.
