Chat Two
by PurpleShiny
Chat Two adds a second chat bar as a separate GUI screen, which lets players type and send messages without touching the default chat window.
What it does
Clicking the Send button in the Chat 2 screen opens a text field for typing. The new chat bar is isolated from the vanilla chat, so the original chat window keeps working as usual and only the added screen is affected. The mod does not change how the regular chat menu behaves in the game.
Chat Two is a client and server mod, so both the server and every player need it installed. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The author says other versions may follow later and asks players which ones they would like to see.
Among other catalog options, G and L Chat is another Forge and NeoForge chat mod that also runs on client and server for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, under the BSD 2-Clause License. Chat Screen is open source under the MIT License and runs on the client alone, across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.
Key features
Separate chat bar
A new chat bar is added as its own display, independent of the real censored chat.
Dedicated Chat 2 screen
All messages are typed in a single GUI screen named Chat 2, opened from the game.
Send button opens input
Clicking the Send button brings up a text field where the player types the message.
Vanilla chat left alone
The default chat menu continues to work, since the added bar does not block the chat display.

Chat Screen differs in that it is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, and its files cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.10 across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Freedomchat is server-side only and NeoForge-only, with files for 1.21.1 under the MIT License.
