Matrix Bridge
by SoftlySophie
Matrix Bridge relays a Minecraft server's chat to a Matrix room, so Matrix users can talk with players without joining the world.
What it does
The bridge forwards server start and stop events, player join, leave and death notices, and player chat messages between the server and a configured Matrix room. Matrix-side users can also run bridge commands such as list, ping, invite and whitelist, which return the player list, the server status or the whitelist entries. Login uses a password and supports encrypted rooms with session verification. Configuration lives in a YAML file placed in the server's config directory, and the data behind it can be kept in H2 by default or in MariaDB and other supported databases.
Matrix Bridge is built on the MatrixSDK and uses Trixnity for the Matrix protocol. It needs Fabric Language Kotlin, and recent releases of that library are required to support newer Matrix features such as room handling. Installing it means placing the Fabric Language Kotlin dependency alongside the mod on the server.

Bridge commands
Matrix-side users can request the player list, server ping, invitations and whitelist details through bridge commands.

How it compares
Discord MC Chat is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for Fabric and Quilt 1.14.4 – 26.3, so it targets Discord rather than Matrix. EndBridge is also server-side only, but it is Fabric-only for 1.20.1 and is not open source, with the BSD-4-Clause License. vanutp's Telegram Bridge covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge 1.16.5 – 26.3 and bridges to Telegram under the MIT License.
