ChatShot
by DeDiamondPro
With ChatShot, a player copies a chat message as plain text or as a transparent image using a single click on the line.
What it does
ChatShot works on the client only. Each chat line can be copied as text or rendered into a transparent image, which is placed on the clipboard for pasting into other programs. The mod needs Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to run, and both are named as required dependencies. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 21 release versions, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.
The source code and an issue tracker are publicly available, and the code is open source. The mod was first published on 2023-09-01 and last updated on 2026-06-25, with the latest Fabric file at 1.0.10 for 26.2. The copy icons were created by mo2men, and the mod icon uses icons from lucide.
