Json Chat Mod
by hoid2
Json Chat Mod gives server owners and players a way to send chat messages written as JSON text components, which Minecraft uses for formatted chat.
What it does
The mod lets chat messages carry JSON text, so colors, styles and clickable parts can be set in the message itself. It also includes help for writing that JSON, so the text does not have to be composed by hand. Fabric API is required, and the mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Its one listed file targets 1.17 and was published on 2021-10-10, under the MIT License as open source.
