Fabric Mail

by BorisShoes

Fabric Mail lets players leave messages and items for other players, including those who are offline, and deliver them the next time those players log on.

FabricServer-side only OSL-3.01.21 – 26.3

What it does

Players send a message to a named player with a mail command. When the recipient is offline, the message waits in a mailbox and is delivered after they join. A message can also carry the item held in the sender's hand, so a parcel can be sent along with a note. Players open a graphical screen to read mail, list the mail they have received, and clear their mailbox.

Mail that has not yet been picked up by its recipient can be revoked, which is useful for retrieving a parcel sent to the wrong person. Each mail has an ID, and the commands for listing, revoking and deleting mail can be run by hand or triggered by clicking the ID shown when hovering over a mail message in chat. Server owners can cap the outbound parcels each player may send, keeping the number of items in transit within a set limit, and can switch on or off the console log that records each successful command.

Fabric Mail is a server-side only mod, so players join without installing it. It needs Fabric API on the server and is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.21 – 26.3 across 10 release versions. The latest file is 2.2.0+26.3 for 26.3, dated 2026-09-16. The license is OSL-3.0, and the mod is not open source, though source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are public.

Key features

  1. Offline delivery

    Messages sent to players who are offline are held and delivered when the recipient logs on.

  2. Item parcels

    A sender can attach the item stack held in their hand, so the recipient receives the parcel with the message.

  3. Mailbox GUI

    An interactable screen lets players read their mail, list it and clear their mailbox.

  4. Revoking sent mail

    Mail that has not been collected can be revoked, which lets a sender retrieve a mistaken parcel.

  5. Outbound parcel limit

    Server owners can cap how many parcels each player may have outbound, discouraging use as storage for items.

Questions

Does Fabric Mail need to be installed on the client?

No. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod.

Which loader does Fabric Mail support?

Fabric is the only loader with published files. Fabric API is required and must also be installed on the server.

Can a sent message be taken back?

Yes, if the recipient has not yet collected it. The sender can revoke mail using its ID.
