Incognito Chat
by Aksolotel
Incognito Chat is a client-side chat mod that lets players join private, encrypted message groups inside a world or on a server.
What it does
Players use three separate group slots, and each group is protected by its own encryption code chosen by the player. Only players who have selected the same group and entered the same code can read its messages. Messages from other groups stay unreadable, so a conversation can be kept apart from the public chat.
Groups are reached through a main settings menu that opens with the N key. From there a player can switch between groups quickly, send invitations to other players, and pick custom text colors. The mod is installed on the client only, and it works when joining a world or a server.
Fabric API is required on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across eleven release versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source with a public source repository and issue tracker.
Key features
Private encrypted chat
Messages sent inside a group are encrypted, so only members who share the group's code can read them.
Three group slots
Each player has three separate group slots, so several private conversations can be kept apart at once.
Player invitations
A player can invite others into a group, letting a small circle share one encrypted channel.
Custom text colors
Chat text can be set to custom colors from the settings menu, helping separate group messages from the rest.

Who it’s for: Players who want a private channel inside Minecraft chat, and players who join servers where side conversations are wanted.
