Donidin's Fun with Friends
by Donidin
Donidin's Fun with Friends adds a set of small multiplayer features, from a chat typing indicator and emoji to item handing and shared health between teammates.
What it does
Most of its features are built for groups playing together on one server. A typing indicator shows when a friend is writing in chat, an emoji system lets players send faces in messages, and a player stuck in a bad spot can be pulled out by a friend. The mod keeps its interactions close to familiar Minecraft actions wherever it can, so new behavior follows habits players already have.
Players can hand an item straight to another player, share part of their health with a teammate, and throw a Poisonous Potato at a friend as a joke. Advancements grant colorful nicknames. The mod is aimed at multiplayer groups, and it is not limited to one specific activity.
Donidin's Fun with Friends is published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is available as public source, but the mod is not open source: it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Typing indicator
