MineMention
With MineMention installed on Forge, players can tag other players or groups in chat by typing a mention before their message.
What it does
MineMention lets a chat message name specific people, so only those players are shown the message. A message with at least one mention is displayed only to the users who were mentioned. Several people can be named in one message, and typing a mention brings up autocompletion for the names available.
The mod ships with three built-in groups: everyone on the server, players in the same dimension, and players within 100 blocks of the sender. Other mods can register additional special mentions, and when several mods register the same one, the server owner can choose which of them applies. The mentions map in the config lists which special mention maps to which identifier.
Installation requires LibX. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Forge across 10 release versions, 1.16.4 – 1.20.1, and the code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, so the project is open source.
Key features
Targeted chat messages
A message that contains a mention is delivered only to the players it names, leaving other chat unaffected.
Built-in mention groups
Everyone, same dimension and near are available out of the box, with near covering a radius of 100 blocks.
Configurable default mentions
The default mentions run when no prefix is given can be changed, and running the command without arguments resets them to everyone.
Redirects and renaming
Special mentions can be redirected to other identifiers, and a redirect to the none identifier removes a mention entirely.
Mention autocompletion
Typing a mention shows completions for the available names and groups, so players do not need to remember exact spellings.

Use cases
Team chat on a server
Players can address a single teammate or a small group without sending a message to the whole server.
Local conversations
The near mention reaches players within 100 blocks, which suits roleplay and area-based communication.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to control how chat mentions reach players, and players who regularly coordinate in a shared chat.
