Hydra
by TheEnderCore
Hydra is a Fabric and Quilt minigame that connects Minecraft chat to a Twitch channel, so viewers' messages can shape what happens in the game.
What it does
Hydra works alongside the Twitch Integrations mod, which brings chat from a stream into the game. Chat messages from viewers are shown in Minecraft, and the mod adds a Hydra Command for handling them within the minigame. Chatter names are colored using an approximation of the 16 colors Minecraft uses, a deliberately rough mapping, and a message sent with highlight appears red.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's own client needs it and a server can run without it. Installation requires Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin, Fzzy Config and Twitch4J, and the files target 1.19.1 – 1.21.11 across 13 release versions. Hydra is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Stream interaction
A streamer runs Minecraft while viewers take part through chat, with messages appearing in the game.
Chat-driven minigames
Chat messages feed the minigame through the Hydra Command, so viewers can influence the play session.
Who it’s for: Players and streamers who use Twitch chat during Minecraft sessions and want viewer messages inside the game. Because the mod is client-side only, it is installed by each player and does not need to be on a server.
