ChatItem

by Davidzus

ChatItem lets a player post the item held in the main hand into chat, with its name, enchantments and lore shown on hover.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.4 – 1.21.5

What it does

A single command, chatitem, reads the item in the main hand and broadcasts a message to everyone on the server, so the tooltip can be inspected in chat without the item changing hands. Other players see the formatted item details when they hover over the message. Fabric API is required. Either side can run ChatItem, and neither needs it, and the MIT License applies to the open source code.

Key features

  1. Broadcast held item

    The chatitem command sends the name of the item in the main hand to chat as a formatted message.

  2. Full tooltip on hover

    Enchantments and custom lore appear in the hover tooltip that other players see on the message.

  3. Spam cooldown

    A 15-second cooldown between uses keeps repeated item posts from flooding chat.

Questions

Does ChatItem need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is listed as a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside ChatItem on Fabric.

Do players need ChatItem to see shared items?

No. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so a player who lacks the mod can still read the message and its hover tooltip.
