ChatTriggers

by FalseHonesty

ChatTriggers is a client-side JavaScript scripting framework for Fabric and Forge, used to modify the game while it runs.

FabricForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.8.9 – 1.20.4

What it does

ChatTriggers lets scripts written in JavaScript change the client as the game runs, without a rebuild. Scripts are loaded from the game's config folder and can be edited live. Only the client needs the framework; servers run without it. Its source is open under the MIT License, and builds exist for Fabric and Forge across 1.8.9 – 1.20.4.

Key features

  1. Live JavaScript scripting

    Scripts written in JavaScript modify client behavior while Minecraft is running, so changes can be tested without restarting.

  2. Fabric and Forge builds

    The framework is published for both loaders, with Fabric files for 1.20.4 and Forge files for 1.8.9.

  3. Module ecosystem

    Several community modules are built on the framework and rely on it for their scripted behavior.

What the author says

ChatTriggers is a framework for Minecraft that allows for live scripting and client modification using JavaScript. The 3.0.0 beta for newer versions of Minecraft is just that, a beta. There are very few modules updated to use it.
