Quick Chat

by MovTery

Quick Chat is a client-side utility for sending preset chat messages with a key press or a radial message wheel.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 26.3

What it does

Players bind keys to messages so a single press sends them. Each message has a cooldown, 10 seconds by default, which can be set anywhere from 1 to 15 seconds in the configuration file, quick chat.json, found in the game version's directory. The configuration screen can also be opened from the in-game options menu to make changes without editing the file.

The mod includes a quick message wheel with eight direction slots. Holding the wheel key, which defaults to G, opens the wheel; releasing it over a direction sends that direction's message and starts the cooldown. Releasing with no selection, or on an empty slot, closes the wheel without sending anything. Messages are edited in the wheel editor, reached from the configuration screen. Quick-send messages from older configurations are replaced by the wheel and migrated automatically.

Quick Chat runs on the client only, so the server and other players do not need it. It requires Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings. The mod is open source under the MIT License and has files for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across game versions 1.20.1 – 26.3, with snapshot builds also published.

Key features

  1. Key-bound messages

    Any preset message can be assigned to a key and sent with one press, without typing it into the chat box.

  2. Message wheel

    An eight-slot wheel opens while a key is held, and a message is sent by releasing the key over its direction.

  3. Adjustable cooldown

    Each send starts a cooldown of 10 seconds by default, adjustable between 1 and 15 seconds.

  4. Configuration file and screen

    Settings live in quick chat.json and can also be changed through an in-game configuration screen with a message editor.

Questions

Does Quick Chat need to be installed on the server?

No. The mod is client-side only, so players install it on their own game and the server does not need it.

Which dependency does Quick Chat require?

Fabric API is required. Mod Menu is optional and only adds access to the settings screen.

Why does a message not send right away?

Each send starts a cooldown, 10 seconds by default, which can be shortened to 1 second or lengthened to 15 seconds in the configuration.
