LetMeSpeak
by spacebyte
LetMeSpeak keeps the chat window open and its draft text saved, so a chat message survives the game events that would normally close it.
What it does
Chat normally closes when a player dies, enters spectator mode or a murder mystery round triggers an event. LetMeSpeak keeps the chat open through those events and stores the chat state, so a typed message is still there afterward. The mod was made for murder mystery games, where chat closed on death and then closed again. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Legacy Fabric for 1.7.10 – 1.21.10, and the mod is client-side only, so players install it alone. Its source code is public, but the code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Chat stays open
Game events that would close the chat window leave it open, so typing is not interrupted.
Saved chat state
The partly written message and chat state are kept, so a message can be finished after the event passes.
Works across worlds
The saved chat state carries over to other worlds and lobbies, so text typed in one place is still there when the player arrives in another.

What the author says
Prevents you losing your chat message from game events closing it. This mod was made specifically because of murder mystery, which closes your chat when you die, and then it closes your chat again when you are put into spectator. This simply saves the chat state, so if the chat closes when you don't close it…
