PGP-Chat

by hankwly5

PGP-Chat, a Fabric utility, encrypts chat messages with PGP before they are sent, once the sender and recipient keys are set up in the config.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source26.1 – 26.2

What it does

Encrypted messages are prefixed with enc, and the message is encrypted before it leaves the client. Keys are handled through GPG, which has to be installed on the system with the keys of anyone the player wants to write to already imported. Private keys must be password protected, and Pinentry opens a GUI prompt for the passphrase.

The mod is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers do not need it. Fabric API is required. Chat Reports interfere with decryption, so encrypted messages stay unreadable in multiplayer while singleplayer still works. Files target 26.1 – 26.2, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes it open source.

Key features

  1. PGP chat encryption

    Chat messages are encrypted with PGP and sent with an enc prefix, so recipients can tell them apart from plain text.

  2. GPG key handling

    Recipient keys are stored in the config, and GPG reads the keys from the local keyring, with Pinentry prompting for protected private keys.

  3. Unconfigured state

    Without a recipient key in the config, the chat shows the message unchanged, so no encryption is attempted.

Questions

Does PGP-Chat need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is listed as a required dependency and must be installed next to PGP-Chat.

Why are encrypted messages unreadable in multiplayer?

Chat Reports installed interfere with decryption, so multiplayer reads fail while singleplayer still works.

What the author says

You must have GUI Pinentry for password protected PGP keys. When you have No Chat Reports installed decryption doesn't\ work in singleplayer, but still works in multiplayer.
