by E33EPUS

What it does

Chat history is saved for each world or server and restored when a player rejoins. Typed text is kept after the chat closes, so an unfinished message is not lost. Consecutive duplicate messages are merged into one line with a counter, which is the default behavior.

The mod is client-side only, so players install it and servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge on 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, with Fabric API required on Fabric. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The first file appeared on 2026-07-06 and the latest update is dated 2026-10-03.

Key features

  1. Chat bubbles

    Messages appear in bubbles beside the sender's player head and name, giving the chat a messaging-app layout.

  2. Whisper sidebar

    An online player list lets a player click a name to start a whisper without typing a command.

  3. Chat search

    A keyword search filters the chat history and matches results in real time as the query is typed.

  4. Mention autocomplete and quick chat

    Typing an @ opens a popup of players to mention, and common phrases can be saved for quick insertion.

Questions

Does E33Chat need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is required by the Fabric build. Forge and NeoForge builds have no listed dependency.

Does a server need E33Chat installed?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. Enabling the server-side sync option needs the server mod to be installed on the server.

Where is the chat history stored?

The history is saved under the .minecraft/e33chat/history folder. Recording can be turned off by setting history enabled to false in the world or server config and restarting.

What the author says

Server required? No, but installing the server-side mod enables quote reply, @mention sync, chat history sync (new players receive recent messages), and the use_tpa option (player-head teleport uses /tpa). How to disable chat history sync? Set history_enabled = false in the world's server config and restart.
