chatbridge
by unknown-salt
Chatbridge is a Fabric client mod that reformats messages sent between a bot and in-game chat, including guild, officer and private chats.
What it does
The mod lets a player change how the bot's messages look in chat. Message timestamps can be shown or hidden and formatted to taste, and the bot's own lines get their own styling. Guild chat, officer chat and private chats are each handled as separate groups, so one format does not have to fit all of them.
Chatbridge is built around a Hypixel-style bridge bot, but its formatting options work on the text the client receives. It runs on the client alone, so a server does not need to install anything for the formatting to appear. The mod needs Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin to start, and it is published for Fabric only. Its code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Bot message formatting
Lines sent by the bot can be restyled, so bridged messages stand apart from ordinary chat.
Guild and officer groups
Guild, officer and private chat each get their own formatting rules, set separately in the options.
Timestamp options
Timestamps on messages can be turned on or off and given a custom layout.
Menu and config screens
Settings can be opened through Mod Menu and edited with Cloth Config, with Placeholder API used for values inside the format strings.

Use cases
Bridged guild chat
A player who follows a guild chat bridge can separate guild, officer and private lines by format.
Readable bot output
A player who uses a bridge bot can make its messages easier to scan among other chat lines.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who use a bridge bot in multiplayer chat and want to change how its messages are shown. It is a client-side option, so it is not needed by server owners who only want to host a bridge.
