Regional Chat
by IotaBread
Regional Chat limits how far a player's text chat carries, so only nearby players hear messages sent in local chat.
What it does
The mod restricts which players receive text chat messages based on distance, so talk reaches only those within a set range of the sender. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Builds are published for Fabric and Quilt across 8 release versions, 1.17 – 1.20.2, under the MIT License, and the source code is open.
