FreedomChat
by ocelotpotpie
Players on a FreedomChat server can keep sending chat while the server disables the chat-reporting feature, as this Fabric and Paper mod rewrites outgoing messages.
What it does
FreedomChat rewrites outgoing messages so that chat signing does not apply to them. Incoming signature checks stay untouched. The author says this avoids compatibility issues caused by chat signing, and it stops players from reporting each other, though players running client-side mods that turn off chat signing cannot join. The mod is published for Fabric and runs on the server platforms Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Folia, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and is open source.
Files cover 1.19.1 – 26.3 across 24 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.7.10 for 26.3. Each Minecraft version has its own build, so a plugin error during enabling or joining usually means the wrong version was installed.

Signature checking for messages received from other players is left as it is in the default setup.

What the author says
Out of the box, FreedomChat only rewrites outgoing messages and does not modify the signature checking messages for incoming messages. Doing this mitigates compatibility issues caused by chat signing, and in the process prevents players from reporting each other, but does not allow players using client-side mods…
