Mod for AL-TeamChat
Mod for AL-TeamChat changes how team chat messages appear on the client, moving them from the regular chat into a separate overlay panel.
What it does
Team chat messages get their own panel instead of mixing into regular chat. The overlay can be moved, resized, recolored and given a transparency level, and its style can be adjusted, so the panel fits the look of the screen. Fabric Loader and Fabric API are required to run it.
Team chat data reaches a player's screen only after the server sends it, and the mod draws nothing it has not received. It cannot show messages a player is not allowed to see, because access is controlled entirely on the server. The TeamChat plugin must run on the server, and without it the mod displays nothing. Once a client connects to a server running the plugin, the overlay works automatically.
Settings are stored in a tcmod config file and can also be opened in two ways: through Mod Menu or directly from the mod's own settings screen. The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.11, under All rights reserved and is not open source.

What the author says
The optional client-side companion for the TeamChat plugin — displays your team chat in a clean, customizable overlay on the side of your screen. ⚠️ Requires the TeamChat plugin on the server. Without it, this mod has nothing to display. Players still need the teamchat.use permission to see the team chat.
