Fabricbridge
by haykam
Fabricbridge connects the Minecraft client to a Matterbridge gateway, so messages can be sent and received through the bridge from inside the game.
What it does
The mod needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API. It also requires a Matterbridge server to be running, which acts as the relay. The Matterbridge API has to be configured as described in its documentation, and the same API details must be entered in Fabricbridge's configuration file.
Once configured, incoming bridge messages appear in-game as they are sent through the gateway. Outgoing messages are sent with the /fb command followed by the text to send. Because the exchange happens inside the client, the server does not receive the messages that pass through the bridge.
The mod is published for Fabric only, in two release versions: 1.14.4 and 1.15.1. Its latest file targets 1.15.1 and was released on 2020-10-27. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Message relay
Messages are passed between the client and a Matterbridge gateway in both directions.
Chat command
The /fb command sends a message to the bridge with the text given after the command name.
Incoming bridge messages
Messages sent through the bridge appear in the game chat as they arrive, without any command from the player.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Bridging to outside chat
A player can follow and reply to a Matterbridge channel that is linked to chat on another platform, without the server hosting that chat.
Who it’s for: Players who already run a Matterbridge gateway and want to join its channels from the Minecraft client. Server owners who do not want bridge traffic to pass through their server can use the mod for that reason.
How it compares
MacroTime is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 26.1.2 under the Apache License 2.0, and it is not open source. Kings World is a Fabric mod for 1.19, is server-side only, and is open source under the MIT License. Fabricbridge covers 1.14.4 and 1.15.1 and is client-side only, so its scope differs from both.
