Chatty
by Fruitloopins
Chatty lets a player choose which chat messages reach their screen, filtering out notices such as kills, votes and certain ranks on the EarthMC server.
What it does
Chatty works on the client alone. Once installed, it hides selected categories of chat from the player's view, including kill notifications, vote announcements and messages from a named chat personality. Filters can also target specific ranks, so a player sees messages from staff while ignoring the rest. The mod was built with the EarthMC server in mind, where it covers several kinds of notices the server does not let players switch off on their own.
Chatty requires YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to provide its settings screen. Filters are changed in that screen, and the choices take effect without restarting the game. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.20.4 and 1.21.4, with 0.1.4 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Its first file appeared on 2024-10-30 and the most recent update is dated 2025-03-13.
Key features
Hide kill messages
Kill notifications from other players can be removed from the chat window, leaving the rest of the conversation visible.
Hide vote messages
Announcements about votes cast on the server are filtered out when this option is enabled.
Hide specific messages
Messages from a chosen source can be hidden, for example a personality whose posts a player does not want to read.
Rank filtering
Messages can be filtered by rank, so a player can keep staff messages and hide those from ordinary players.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want more control over the chat window on the EarthMC server, and players who find automatic chat notices distracting. Only the client needs the mod, so server owners do not have to install anything.
How it compares
Universal Chat Filter is open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric and Forge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.11; it can run on a client, a server or both. BetterChat is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so its source is not open. UnhideChat is open source under the MIT License and client-side only, for 1.20 – 1.20.6, so it does not cover 1.21.4.
