FXChat
by brizaz
FXChat replaces the default chat with custom channels, private messaging and staff moderation tools on NeoForge servers for 1.21.1.
What it does
Chat on a server running FXChat is split into channels that a server owner defines in channels.json. Each channel can carry its own permissions, commands, message formats and a local chat radius, where -1 means unlimited. Players switch channels instantly, and a one-time message can be sent to a channel without leaving the current one. Private messaging, social spy and automatic conversation tracking are included as well.
The mod also covers team chat, with team invitations, alerts and error messages set in messages.json, including hover text. Its configuration files are generated on first launch and changed through simple JSON, so the server does not need to be rebuilt to adjust channels or wording. FXChat is a server-side only mod: players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge only, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the single game version, and the code is not open source; the author holds All rights reserved.
