Player Chat Filter
by HAL1T
Player Chat Filter lets a player show only selected chat messages during PvP fights, TierList sessions and other focused play, hiding the rest.
What it does
Chat often becomes noise during competitive play. Player Chat Filter limits the chat window to messages from players the user selects, together with server messages. Other players' messages stay hidden for as long as the filter is on, and the chatfilteroff command turns the filter back off.
The mod is aimed at Crystal PvP duels, tournaments and TierList evaluations, where chat distraction can affect performance. It is a client-side only utility for Fabric, with builds for 1.21.11 and the MIT License. The source code is public, and the optional Mod Menu dependency can be installed alongside it but is not required.
Key features
Selective chat view
Only messages from chosen players and server messages appear in the chat window while the filter is active.
Temporary hiding
Messages from other players are hidden for the session rather than deleted, so the filter can be switched off at any time.
Filter off command
The chatfilteroff command disables filtering immediately, returning the full chat to view.
Light resource use
The filter is simple to operate and adds minimal performance impact during play.

Who it’s for: Players who take part in competitive Minecraft sessions such as Crystal PvP fights, tournaments and TierList events, and who want a quieter chat during them.
