Pigeon Chat
Pigeon Chat lets players send letters to friends through pigeons, using pens, quills, ink and paper that the mod adds to the game.
What it does
Letters are written with a pen, a quill or a nib, and the writing tool is filled from an ink bottle. A player who holds paper in the other hand while right-clicking with a pen or quill turns the paper into a writable letter. Once written, a letter is sealed and can be tied to a pigeon with string, so the pigeon carries it to the chosen recipient. Pigeons can be tamed and captured in small numbers, and a portable pigeon house is available as an item.
Delivery works through a target selection screen. Right-clicking a sealed letter with other deliverable items opens that screen, and any online player in the same dimension can be picked as a recipient, regardless of distance. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge under the MIT License, and the code is open source.
Key features
Writing tools
Pens, quills and nibs are used to write on paper, and each one is made from different materials.
Ink and dye
Ink is made by filling a bottle with water and combining two dyes of the same colour, and 16 colours are available.
Sealed letters
Written letters become a sealed item that can be delivered, and only sealed letters can be sent through pigeons.
Pigeon delivery
Tamed pigeons carry tied letters to a chosen online player in the same dimension, with no range limit.
Configurable item tags
Which items count as writables, deliverables, quills or nibs is set through data tags that can be edited.
