Modern Beta Chat Tools
by DuckHunt1337
Modern Beta Chat Tools changes how chat messages look on Fabric, aimed mainly at the Modern Beta SMP server.
What it does
Chat messages are reformatted: some ranks are hidden, certain names are recolored, and direct messages get a different layout. A prefix in front of Bedrock players' names can be hidden as well. The mod is meant for use on the Modern Beta SMP server, and it can make chat resemble the older beta chat look. It is client-side only, so only the player's own game needs it, and it is available for Fabric and 1.21.1 only. The code is All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Rank and prefix cleanup
Rank tags are removed from chat lines, and the Bedrock player prefix can be hidden from names.
Beta-style chat appearance
Chat messages take on the look of early beta chat, with reformatted direct messages and some recolored names.
Deafen command
A dot-prefixed command adds a deafen option, and tab list commands are included.

How it compares
Chat++ Global and Local Chat is server-side only and not open source, with files for 1.21.11. Discordo is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, covering 1.21 – 1.21.1. TwitchChatReader is client-side only and open source under the MIT License, covering 1.20 – 1.21.1, so it works on the client alone like this mod.
