IgnisChat
by pitan76
IgnisChat is a server-side Fabric utility that converts typed romaji into kanji and kana in chat, ported from the LunaChat plugin for Bukkit and Spigot.
What it does
Players type romaji in chat, and the mod converts it to kanji and kana before the message is sent. Only the romaji to kanji and kana conversion is implemented, so other input methods are not covered. The conversion code comes from the LunaChat plugin for Bukkit and Spigot, ported to Fabric.
The mod needs Fabric API and MCPitanLib to run, both listed as required dependencies. Because it runs on the server only, players join without installing anything on their side. The source code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the license applies because the mod includes a library from the LunaChat project.
Files are published for Fabric across 36 release versions, 1.7.10 – 1.20.4. Builds for 1.7.10 – 1.13.2 use Legacy Fabric Loader, and the Fabric API is not used, so the Fabric Loader alone is enough. The author notes a plan to port the mod to Forge.
