Haunted Chat

Messages arrive at random intervals and are written to address the player directly, as if someone nearby were talking to them. What gets said depends on the situation around the player: standing still too long, digging deep underground, or playing late at night while alone on a low-population server each trigger their own set of lines. When no specific trigger applies, messages are drawn from a general pool.

The mod runs on the client and the server together, so both sides need it installed. Server owners can switch the mod on or off, set the window that governs message timing, choose whether messages use the player's actual in-game name, and decide whether a message is broadcast to everyone online or delivered to each player individually. Haunted Core is an optional dependency that some setups use alongside it.
