Chat Vars

by strainxx

Chat Vars is a Fabric client mod that lets players define variables and insert them into chat messages, so long text can be shortened before it is sent.

FabricClient-side onlyApache License 2.01.20 – 1.20.4

What it does

Chat Vars is a client-side utility. It adds variables that can be typed into chat and expanded into their values, such as the player's own position, the position of the mod, or the name of the server player. Shortened messages are built from configurable variables, so a repeated coordinate or phrase only has to be typed once. The mod needs YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to provide its settings screen. Only the client needs it; servers run without it. Files target 1.20 – 1.20.4, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.4 as the latest release on the beta channel. The code is under the Apache License 2.0, and the mod is not open source.

Key features

  1. Chat variables

    Variables can be typed into chat and replaced with their values when the message is sent.

  2. Configurable shortcuts

    Each variable and the text it expands to can be set in the mod's configuration, shortening frequently typed messages.

  3. Position variables

    Variables can insert the player's current coordinates, such as 103 42 -1034, into a message.
