Custom-chat-mod
by GidexPlayYT
Custom-chat-mod replaces the default chat with a centered display that shows player heads, custom nicknames and colored names on Forge for 1.19.2.
What it does
Chat messages appear in the center of the screen instead of the usual chat area, and each line can include the sender's player head. Nicknames can be changed, and names are drawn in a chosen color from a palette that covers red, blue, green, yellow, purple, gray, white and their darker or lighter shades.
The display is aimed at roleplay servers, where players want chat that reads like dialogue, and it also supports custom names and colors for non-player characters. The source code is public under the MIT License, so it can be inspected or modified. The mod runs on the client only, so players install it themselves and servers do not need it.
Files are published for Forge 1.19.2, with version 1.0.0-1.19.2 dated 2026-03-23, the same day the mod was first released and last updated.
