What it does

Chat heads show the player's head beside each message, chat copy lets a player copy one line or the whole message with a click, and the chat history is extended to 32 000 lines. A fix makes commands work even when they are typed in upper case, since the vanilla handler only accepted lower case. Most of these changes sit in the chat window, so they apply to any server a player joins.

The mod also includes a hacker detector, a hit color indicator and a squad command that marks chosen players with a pink nametag and icon. Hitboxes can be shown for selected entity types, including arrows, dropped items, passive and aggressive mobs, item frames and withers, and players and withers can be given the color of their team. Settings are opened with the mwe command. The author states the build was made with performance in mind, and it was used while playing Hypixel's Mega Walls.

It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing. It is published for Forge 1.8.9 only, with the latest file 4.9 dated 2026-10-05. It is released under a custom license and is not open source. OrangeMarshall's Vanilla Enhancements is listed as compatible with the chat, tablist and hitbox features.

Key features

  1. Chat heads

    A small player head is drawn in front of each chat message, so the sender is visible at a glance.

  2. Chat copy and longer history

    Left or right click copies a chat message, holding shift copies one line, and the chat buffer holds up to 32 000 lines.

  3. Command case fix

    Commands typed with capital letters are handled, where vanilla only accepts lower case.

  4. Squad marking

    A squad command adds players to a squad, and each squadmate is shown with a pink nametag and an icon in front of the name.

  5. Configurable hitboxes

    The F3+B hitbox display can be adjusted, and it can be limited to chosen entity types such as arrows, mobs and withers.
