In Game Stream Chat
In Game Stream Chat lets a player read live stream chat inside the game window, placed as an overlay at the top of the screen.
What it does
The mod shows a live stream chat in an overlay, so messages can be followed without switching to a browser or a second device. Chats can be viewed without logging in or holding a membership, and the chat window can be resized, moved to another spot and given a different opacity from the in-game settings. The config screen has a new button for these adjustments, and the opacity of the screen was adjusted in a later release.
The interface and messages are translated into several languages, including English, Spanish, French, German and Turkish. The text follows the client language setting, and errors are shown in the chosen language as well. The mod runs on the client alone and is published for Fabric only, across 10 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.4. Its most recent file is 1.3.0 for 1.21.4, and the code is kept under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
