ChatConfirm
by infecting
With ChatConfirm installed, pressing the chat key once no longer opens the chat screen by accident, since it waits for a second press.
What it does
Instead of opening the chat screen on a single press, the chat key must be pressed twice within a confirmation period, which guards against accidental openings. The window is configurable from 1 to 10 seconds, and the mod can display a reminder of the configured chat key.
Settings are saved between game sessions, so the chosen confirmation time and reminder stay in place after restarting the game. Only the client runs the mod, so servers do not need to install it, and it works in single-player and on multiplayer servers alike. The Fabric build targets Minecraft Java Edition 1.21.11 and 26.2, and it requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.

Use cases
Avoiding stray chat screens
Players who tap the chat key while moving or fighting can keep their input in the game without the chat screen covering the view.
Who it’s for: Players who often open the chat screen by mistake, such as while controlling a character with fast key input. The mod is for the client only and does not change server behavior.
