FrogMod
by LakyLuc
FrogMod groups chat into tabs for the Fabric client, so server, party and private messages can be read and sent separately.
What it does
Chat is split into tabs, and each tab filters messages by type, for example server, party or private messages. A player can write straight into a chosen tab without typing a command such as /msg. Tabs with unread messages are highlighted, which shows where new traffic is arriving. Temporary tabs for party and private messages can be minimized rather than deleted, so the chat history stays in place.
Quick action buttons in the chat HUD cover party management and command shortcuts. Timestamps can be displayed next to messages, and a chat indicator marks which tab is active. Players can also see skins and a quick join button in the server main menu. A configuration screen lets each feature be toggled, and seeing skins of nicked players is disabled by default. Showing game status and Discord group chat messages uses other features from the same author's toolkit.
FrogMod runs on the client alone, so servers and players do not need to install anything extra. It is published for Fabric only, across five release versions 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, with 2.0.12+1.21.11 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is not open source: the mod is released under All rights reserved. Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are required, and Mod Menu is optional. The author has a public issue tracker.
