PhotoChat
by bay4lly
PhotoChat lets players send photos through the Minecraft chat window, so images can be shared alongside text during play.
What it does
Players can send a picture directly in chat, and the image appears for others in real time next to ordinary messages. The feature is meant for friends who want to talk and share visual content in the same place as their conversation.
The mod is built to stay light, and the author states it does not affect game performance. Forge installs need Sinytra Connector to run, while Fabric installs need nothing extra beyond the loader itself. Both loaders are covered by the 1.20.1 files, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Files are published for 1.20.1 only. The Fabric build is version 2.0, updated 2026-06-06, and the Forge build is version 1.1.4, updated 2025-10-05. Both sides of a connection need the mod, so server owners and every player install it.
