Mouse Danmu
by LiQing
Mouse Danmu shows Bilibili live chat messages, called danmu, inside the Minecraft chat box while a player streams or watches a live room.
What it does
The Fabric mod reads the danmu stream of a Bilibili live room and writes each message into the game's chat box. Colors and the information shown with each message can be set in the configuration, and highlighted messages appear on a boss bar. Emoji in a danmu can be clicked to open a web page, and a username can be clicked to view that user's profile. A close-to-official style is available for the display.
Control happens through a command called mousedanmu, with a shorter alias, dm, that runs the same operations. Players open the chat box with the T key and type dm connect followed by a live room ID to join a room, dm test 1000 to send one test danmu per second, or dm followed by text to send a message to the current room. Some room IDs are redirected to another room. The live room ID is found in the browser developer tools by running a short script in the console.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. It is open source under the MIT License, with a public source code repository and an issue tracker. It depends on the bili-live-danmu library, and the English language file is not yet available, so contributions of a translation are welcome.

What the author says
After installation, a /mousedanmu command will be added to the game, which can be used to control live room operations. If /mousedanmu is too long for you, you can use the /dm alias command, which redirects to /mousedanmu.
