PrivyChat
PrivyChat adds a private and global messaging layer to Minecraft chat, routed through a WebSocket backend that connects clients running the mod.
What it does
Messages sent with the chat command reach players who run PrivyChat and are connected to the same server session. Each message is shown in the regular Minecraft chat with a custom format that includes the sender's name. Players can message one another even when they are on different Minecraft servers, as long as both stay connected to the same backend.
Private rooms are created with a chat command. The creator becomes the owner, and the room is registered on the backend so that only invited players can join. An invite is sent through the backend, the recipient gets a notification, and the invite must be accepted before the room is entered. The backend checks each invitation and returns an error if it is no longer valid. Leaving a room returns the player to global chat mode.
PrivyChat also changes how server chat works: it runs alongside the normal communication network rather than replacing it. Installation requires Fabric. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and it is published under All rights reserved, which makes it not open source. Files exist for 26.1.2 and 26.2, with the 0.0.1 build for 26.2 as the latest release.
Key features
Global chat
A shared chat layer lets every connected PrivyChat player receive messages, whatever their server.

Players create a room that only invited users can enter, with invites delivered as notifications.
Room leaving
Leaving a room stops room messages and returns the player to the global chat mode.
Highlighted messages
Room messages are shown in a yellow special format, and global broadcasts can override room restrictions.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want chat that reaches other PrivyChat users outside a single server, and server owners who want a shared communication layer beside vanilla chat. Both sides need the mod for the features to work.
How it compares
Copy Chat is a client-side only Fabric mod, open source under the MIT License, with files for 26.2 – 26.3. PGP-Chat is also client-side only and open source, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, covering 26.1 – 26.2. PrivyChat needs both client and server and is not open source, so it differs from both in environment and license.
